Done.
While doing it, it occurred to me that the acknowledgment strings in
their different uses might need disambiguation.
The theorem type "Acknowledgment" has not the same semantics than the
"Acknowledgment[s]" in some of the article classes, right? The latter
is to display gratefulness to grant sponsors and colleagues (i.e.,
credits), but I can't imagine the theorem type has that function. It is
more to acknowledge (and maybe critically challenge) an argument,
right?
To German, acknowledgment could be translated as (a) Danksagung
(credits), (b) Würdigung (respect), (c) Eingeständnis (admission), or
(d) Erwiderung (reply). Which one is it? I'd tip (b) or (d).
