The teacher recognised Little Johnnie's writing on the blackboard, but she did not appreciate it.

Your Boss recognised that you fixed the bug, but since you built in two other bugs he did not appreciate it.

Little Johnnie on the board - always recognizable & always unappreciable. Big Grin | :-D

Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy.

I appreciate your understanding.
what lil Johnny does is always inappreciable for the teacher & not for us. Poke tongue | ;-P

recognition: you acknowledge that something or someone is there, is real without a sense of good or bad.
appreciation: You not only recognize something or someone, but you also like it or him/her.

example:
at night:
I recognize my wife sleeping next to me.
I appreciate my wife not sleeping next to me (but doing other things Big Grin | :-D

)

You could force Nagy to use it as his own signature.

Recognition: Somebody notices it, but doesn't necessary like it
Appreciation: Somebody likes it (and has thus per definition also noticed it)

Eytukan9-Dec-13 22:29

But why companies use "Recognition" word to mean a reward?

"Team recognition"

"Individual recognition"

etc?

they mean you somehow stood out of the crowd. Suppose you have 100 people standing in front of you all guys in a black costume. There is one woman in a red dress...
