OK.
Actually, "Acknowledgments" is the traditionally correct spelling. There are some dictionaries that accept "Acknowledgement," but this reads as faddish and less literate. A similar word is "judgment"--- both are frequently misspelled even by native speakers.
Thanks for clarifying. I see now that it was my hyper-British dictionary choices in Thunderbird which caused me to suggest this change :). It also doesn't like "judgment". FWIW, Wiktionary suggests that this is a US/UK distinction rather than a traditional/rare distinction, though no doubt both languages bleed into each other a lot. John
