[ "Understood" ]
1: A shorthand acknowledgment that the speaker is aware of the preceding statement in a conversation, and has discerned the meaning of the statement.
Usually, this is an emotionally neutral phrase.
Usually used in writing, such as email, and may be followed by a period ("Understood.") depending on personal preference.
Synonym of Noted, and is normally acceptable in Business English. A more formal equivalent of gotcha, which is normally not acceptable in Business English. Compare: affirmative, correct, OK, right.
A disingenuous acknowledgment of a preceding statement in a conversation. This secondary definition usually occurs when the speaker is obligated to reply to a statement contrary to the desires or expectations of the speaker, but would be reprimanded for an explicitly negative or contrary reply.
In short, a common way to implicitly disapprove of a statement by neither explicitly permitting it nor praising it.
This secondary definition is highly dependent on plausible deniability, and may be misunderstood by the recipient.
* e.g., ... "We need five shipments delivered by this time tomorrow."
[ "Understood" ]
2: If the implication is understood, the recipient may take offense, as it displays disobedience on the part of the speaker.
