My PhD acknowledgements I found to be stressful. So much expectations for a few words, so many different ways of writing these. And how to know what tone was the right one for this occasion, in a university of a country still not my own, with a field not directly defined and thus not a clear influence even from there? Worse, the flowery style common in many of the thesis I saw just did not feel right, I wouldn't write like that ever. I was very happy when I found a PhD thesis which made it different. It wrote, in french: Acknowledgements [the list of people] find here my most severe gratitude. That felt clear, honest and fitting. I copied that one. Maybe that was one of the older styles mentioned in the articles.
