meaningword-usage
I got a job offer and I have to attend a psychological test tomorrow, 08:30 am. I can't attend at that time so I ask for a reschedule on next Monday. The HR person replied to my email with:
Well noted. We'll sumbit the information to our user.
I don't understand, is it a 'yes' or 'no'? Or is it meaning that the HR person will ask her boss (user) if he/she can or not?
Duly is the adverbial form of the adjective due. It means either properly or punctually, and can be replaced by either word felicitously. So duly noted means correctly or appropriately recorded.
Duly noted encompasses only a tiny fraction of the usages of the word: this Ngram should be sufficient to illustrate:
Duly is as independent as it could wish.
'swish' is just onomatopoeia for the ball not touching the rim, only the net as it goes through, making a swishing sound. It's not a noun or verb. It's the word for the sound it makes.
The implication of the word is that Sheldon did something really well, something without any flaws at all. It is not a common thing to say, but is immediately understandable.
Another similar thing to say with the same meaning is descriptive "nothing but net" (much more common).
Best Answer
It is a "yes". It is both acknowledgement and assurance.
Someone might casually say, "Noted," but to say, "Well noted," or "Duly noted," is to emphasize that they have read your message, understood it fully, and will act according to your wishes.
