Re: a dazzling smile of warm recongation....

A person is very pleased to recognize somebody/something and gives a radiant smile - a dazzling smile of recognition.

Wow. AmE is really rubbing off on you! ;-)

Re: a dazzling smile of warm recongation....

ps. Congratulations. I didn't expect to be picked up quite so soon.

I'd like to take the credit but, in all honesty, it passed me by until I clicked "Edit Post" to fix a punctuation typo and saw that "recognize" was underlined in red.

New question!
I don't understand why the word "of" being used here?

It seems that I post the wrong place. No foreigner knew it. Upset of it.

I don't understand any of those three sentences.

I do understand all of them, perhaps because the OP and I use the same native language.

I guess his intended meanings were 'I seem to have posted my question in a wrong place. No native speakers know the answer. I am upset about it.'

Very close, Matthew. (Well, at least that's what I thought the OP meant too. Only the OP knows for sure.)

You do understand my sentences meaning. But you are not sure or exactly to get what I mean.
Now, I think you understand what I mean, so answer my question.
