Saying "I was wrong"/"my mistake"

[wildhoney]

Hello there,

I was wondering about any nice, elegant ways of admitting that one was wrong, and his statement(s) should not be considered any more.

Example, commenting an article:

X: Well, I think [opinion]
Y: You didn't understand the point. Read the whole article.
*X re-reads the article, or reads what he/she missed out before*
*X notices their opinion was actually off-topic and missing the point*
X: [admitting mistake]

I was thinking about..

"I see. My mistake, disregard what I said."
"I retract my previous statement" (this seems.. overused. I guess this was in some movie and I _don't_ want to be seen as quoting by the less able)
"My bad".

Basically, I'm looking for fun ways to say "My bad. Ignore what I said".

Formal, informal, anything.

Thanks!

'I stand corrected.'

'Oops! Colour me embarrassed.'

'Beam me up, Scotty.'

There are so many ways you can say this.

Oops. I sure misread that. Never mind!
Oh, boy, was I off-base there!

Really - it's limitless.

A careful re-reading your excellent article has rendered my previous statement invalid. Would you be so kind as to ignore that? :lol:
Or:
Having carefully read your outstanding article again, I noticed I had missed an important point. You are, of course, correct. :up:

Or simply: "You are right. I overlooked something." ;-)
I admit that I was wrong.
