ac⋅knowl⋅edge
1. to admit to be real or true; recognize the existence, truth, or fact of: to acknowledge one’s mistakes. - dictionary.com

A relatively harmless word I would say. I came across the usage of the word that I find quite interesting. The other day I ordered some power cables for some servers I picked up (another story) and in the “status” of where my order was there was “Acknowledged”.

I feel that Received to Confirmed would be plenty enough but they went the extra mile and inform you that your order has been seen. Now how long does a typical order sit a received but not acknowledged?
