It isn't. Acknowledgment and acknowledgement are both accepted,
like
judgement and judgment. British vs US English.

Hi Patrick, that is interesting. I'm using an Australian database in
Thunderbird and that told me it should be spelt with the "e". I know
the
American and English spelling differences can be accepted, but I
thought
the spelling of that word was universal.
It isn't. See for example:

Thanks Patrick, I checked that sight and it is indeed agreeing with what you are saying, and as you are saying there are lots of situations where American English and English differences are accepted. The issue I had was the mail with that spelling was the first time I have ever seen that word spelt without the "e".

regards,
