Just to confuse matters, my "New Oxford English Dictionary" (in
fact
from the 1990s) has "acknowledgement (also acknowledgment)"
whereas
with words like "colour" and "tyre" it has "colour (US color)",
"tyre
(US tire)". In other words, it doesn't see the
"acknowledgement/acknowledgment" distinction as a UK/US one.
Thanks. According to my (rather superficial) research, both
variants
seem to be used in both regions to _some_ degree, though the "e"
variant seems to be significantly more frequent outside US than
within
US and Canada, where the other variant seems more common.
Yes, I think that's generally true. E.g. "judgement" vs "judgment".
My
sense is that, nowadays, the distinction matters less than it once
did---the internet and all that---and that both spellings are
regarded
as correct. What I would expect from my students is consistency.
So good to go for a change? (Myself I care not much, as I do not use
these kinds of acknowledg[e]ments).
Yes, it's fine with me.
