Hey,
here's a little scenario:
Person A gives advice to person B and person B answers with "duly noted".
The way I understand this is that person B wants to say that he has fully understood what person A was saying and that he acknowledges it.
Are there any other connotations this might have depending on the context it is used in?
What if the advice person A has dispensed is of no use to person B, could then "duly noted" mean something like "Yeah, thanks for letting me know but I don't see how this is at all helpful"?
What situations can you think of where you would use "duly noted"?
Thanks.
