Is there such a word as cognance. I have looked in dictionaries but can't find it.
The context would be - to take cognance of the facts.

Thanks to all. I will take cognizance and indeed cognisance of the answers.
What is interesting, though, is cognance comes up in the Yahoo search engine.
Try it for fun!!
