Thank you Dave.
My dict tells me that "acknowledged" means "accepted". I'm not sure if it is exact.
Dictionary.com:
1. to admit to be real or true;
recognize the existence, truth, or fact of: to acknowledge one's mistakes.
2. to show or
express recognition or realization of: to acknowledge an acquaintance by nodding.
3. to recognize the authority, validity, or claims of: The students acknowledged the authority of the student council.
4. to show or express appreciation or gratitude for: to acknowledge a favor.
5.
to indicate or make known the receipt of: to acknowledge a letter.
What I had in mind was that I recognized and understood what u said.
That is neither to agree nor to disagree with it,
but merely to say that your statement was received and understood.
For instance, if u said that u voted for obama
and if I acknowledged that, it is to say that I heard what u said
and I understood what u said,
not that I agree with your having done such a thing.
