While reading back my latest post I almost had a stroke. Acknowledgments ????

I rushed to my Webster’s dictionary and found out to my relief it is a legitimate variation of the more common “Acknowledgements”….

I am a very picky person when it comes to writing syntactically and ortographically correct English. I hate it when I get things wrong… Not this time, whew!

Like the difference between “centre” (British English) and “center” (American English)

:) thanks for spotting it… Of course, in a blog I accept making mistakes, while in a scientific paper published in a book I am much less willing to forgive myself…
