That is a more accurate literal translation. I wasn't offering a direct Kor>Eng translation.

I actually was going to suggest originally "합의해 주셨어서 감사드리겠습니다." But was told when I asked a Korean to proof it that "합의하다" is much to informal for this situation and was given this as an alternative.

It translates directly as being snotty, I agree. Good example of cultural nuance not translating directly, I think.

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
