I saw two phrases.One is "order is accepted".Another one is "order accepted". I don't know if there is any difference between these two phrases.Or maybe order accepted is wrong sentence?

Hi The O.C. guy,

Quote:

You ask whether both these are acceptable. The difference is not a question of being correct or not. The difference is that the second one order accepted is a contracted form and would be used in a conversational form. It is the same as the expression message understood, which is often said by someone when they have accepted and understood what you have informed them about.
