"regret"
I often see the expression "We regret to inform you that ..(some sad news).."
, but I wonder if could be used in sentences in which the speaker him/herself is not responsible for the incident or in the place to speak for the authority or person that caused it.
For example, if a TV show got cancelled midway through its production, would it be appropriate for me to say to one of the cast: " I love your acting as always, but I REGRET TO SEE that the show is cancelled."?
Doesn't sound right to me because I've never seen/heard it being used under such a circumstance.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
