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.
