After Contrex has answered my question, and I want to thank him, is it correct to say the following? Is 'Got it' unnecessary or an incorrect expression?

Thanks, Contrex.
Got it.

Many thanks.

My Fair Lady "The Rain in Spain"

Quote:

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
I think she's got it! I think she's got it!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
By George, she's got it! By George, she's got it!

Now, once again where does it rain?
On the plain! On the plain!

And where's that soggy plain?
In Spain! In Spain!

When I say "Thanks", I feel that "Got it" becomes redundant. Am I correct?

Many thanks.

No, not at all. "Thanks" expresses gratitude; "got it" expresses understanding.
