Acknowledgment vs. Acknowledgement
At the beginning of many books, you will see an author has a dedicated page acknowledging those that help with their book.
What you might not know is that the preferred spelling in American English is without the medial “e” (just like in judgment and abridgment).
Keep that in mind next time you can’t decide which is correct.
Happy writing!
