Is it "apologize" or "apologise"? Because some say it "apologise".
They're both right. It depends on which type of English spelling you use: American or British.

What its mean with 'intrinsically motivated'?
It means that a person doesn't need outside forces (e.g., parents, threat of punishment, a teacher, a reward) to be motivated to achieve something; it all comes from within. Most successful people are intrinsically (or innately) motivated: they work hard and do their best all the time, not only when someone or something forces them to do so.
Addicting/addictive?
Go with "addictive," e.g., Peter finds "One Piece" and "Shingeki no Kyojin" incredibly ADDICTIVE. ("Addicting," if used as an adjective, is considered informal.)

The difference between "i apoligize" and "i'm sorry"
They mean the same thing. "I apologize" is more formal and polite. For example, if Henry did something bad to Peter, he wouldn't say "I apologize." He would just say "I'm sorry" (because they're close friends). However, if Henry did something wrong to Peter's mother, he would say "I apologize."

are people in america have a very good grammar or they also have a problem with their grammar?
MANY people in America are TERRIBLE at grammar. In fact, many students who learn English in foreign countries have a better understanding of English grammar than students who are born and raised in America. This is one of the unfortunate realities of the American educational system, not to mention the influence that bad grammar and spelling found on the Internet has on our students here. (This is why we always encourage those of you who are learning English as a second or third language to not give up. You might actually get better than many native speakers.)
