Hi wnks, it's me again...
Would you mind helping me once more? We know that the word "receive" and "accept" in bahasa mean "menerima".
What is the difference then if the sentences are:
- I have received your letter.
- I have accepted your letter.
Such things are really important matters for english elarner like myself, because sometimes I feel difficulty to find the precise words for certain purposes.
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help. And please don't hesitate to criticize my writings (coz I'm still learning).

May I join you guys a bit here???
On those sample sentences above.......
-- I have received your letter......
The word 'Received' in this matter means that the person has already possessed the letter...the letter is his now, but that doesn't mean that he has opened / read it.
-- I have accepted your letter.
The word 'Accepted' in this matter means that the person has already possessed the letter, and understood whatever it was in the letter, and willing to comply with it.
The easier sample sentences :
1. Anna has received your apology. ....... That means Anna got the apology, but doesn't mean she's willing to forgive.
2. Anna has accepted your apology. ....... That means Anna got the apology, and willing to forgive.
Sorry if it's not too clear for you, please understand that I'm not a teacher, and my grammar is very crappy too.
Hopefully you'll get it.
What do you think wnks??? CMIIW.

Hi all .... newbie here
But I'll try my best to answer some of these questions.
Person above me, yes you're right. But it is extremely informal. I'm not even sure it's correct. I mostly hear it from afro-americans for some reason. So, I'm guessing this is ghetto-talk.
To the experts ... CMIIW.

It's actually both "am not" and "is not".
IF it follows "I" then it is "am not". Obviously, it can't be "I IS not" .... can it now
Another example would be "That AIN'T right". In this case , it is "is not". ....... as in "That is not right".
