I like to think of an oath as an affirmation.

Everybody made good points here. I'm glad this topic is so popular. I wasn't sure if it would be. Sometimes an oath can be an optional accompanyment to an acknowledgment. Any thoughts on that one?

I use the Black's Law Dictionary version of the word acknowledgment. There is no other spelling of the word in the description. I always knew the spelling to be without the e. I got laughed at in college for adding the extra e. The same goes for the word judgment.

Either spelling is acceptable:

Dr. J.

Here in New York the ack is handy if the affiant signed the doc prior to my arrival. NY does not require me to "see them sign" - my legal requirement is to ID them, ask if they did sign, then notarize. The Jurat's "sworn to and subscribed" however requires me to actually witness the signing process.
