… doesn’t it melt away most--- if not all--- of the irritation you felt?
This is a rhetorical question which need not be answered and which must be uttered in a falling tone. A negative rhetorical question is close in meaning but more powerful in tone than a positive statements. The above rhetorical question is similar in meaning too; it does indeed melt away most--- if not all---of the irritation you felt./ After you hear someone’s genuine apology, most --- if not all--- of your irritation will naturally disappear.

Writing practice (2)
When the dinner begins, the host says to the guests: “ Please help yourselves!” The guests usually say “OK!OK!’ The host eats first and the others follow. The host or hostess will put food in the bowl of the guest. The guest will say “no, no” at the beginning and will accept it finally. At a Chinese table a guest should not eat too quickly or too much. The Chinese like to talk with each other during the dinner. If someone eats without speaking to anyone, he is considered unfriendly. So the atmosphere at the table is pleasantly noisy.
