What does this phrase mean: "point taken"?

[Timothy Tu]

who can help me to explain? what's mean "point taken"?

[Alan]

Hi,

This expression is used when you say to someone that you have accepted what they say. You understand their meaning and will remember it.

Usually when you don't agree with something but you still accept the other view.

It sounds very useful. Could someone make a sentence from point taken.

A:Do you understand what I just said?

B: ??

Hi,

'Point taken' simply means: I have taken/accepted your point (the point you are making).

I'd think Alan's comment is final: 'Point taken' simply means: I have taken/accepted your point. No more nor less inbuilt suggestions are involved.

[Hjt84]

That's why i said 'usually'! Opens up for other situations!

I'm not talking about a heated arguement, but in my opinion i use 'point' taken the most when there are two opposing views eg...

"It's really annoying when people talk over you"

"Ok point taken, i'll stop"

[Torsten]

Hj, is there any particular reason why you don't capitalize the word 'I'? Also, why is that you don't put a full stop at the end of each sentence?

Because this is an internet forum, and despite being about English, it still falls under the same forces of habit for when typing on any other forum - you go for speed over accuracy.

Learning English from an internet forum is sketchy at best, and i don't proclaim that i use correct grammar, but this is not an English exam. It's an exchange of views on t'interweb.

L8ERS.

[Haihao]

No, I am afraid not, Hjt. What Torsten and others tried to say to you is that this is a forum about English grammar and a lot of ESL learners including me come here everyday to learn. That's why "i don't proclaim that i use correct grammar' is not correct grammar and should be "I don't proclaim that I use correct grammar' in order to avoid the highly advanced confusing means.

Mordant puts it well. I find it sad that you are too lazy to show consideration for others by using correct grammar if you know how to do so. Besides which... don't you find it tedious being corrected constantly?
