Rigotz Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It's that time of year again. Everyone is excited about Free Agency. The league calendar is about to begin. The draft isn't too far away. The future is bright. Just as we take our first breath of spring air, we log into TBD and we see: "We need to resign DaQuan Jones." "I can't believe we resigned Taylor Rapp." No. "Re-sign" means to sign again. "Resign" means to voluntarily leave a job. It means the opposite of re-sign. Cheers, Bills Fans, to re-signing our best players and winning the Super Bowl. 🍻 7 3 6 2 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 The only chance anyone has of catching my penalty minutes record is if the mods start handing out points for using resign instead of re-sign. I am less annoyed by the lack of a hyphen there than I am people using "instinctual" instead of instinctive though. Not sure when or why it became acceptable to use the wrong suffix. I am anticipating idiotish to replace idiotic any day now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Producing is still producing. There are better examples. The problem with resign and re-sign is that they both involve a change in work circumstance........they aren't used in an entirely different nature.
