This is becoming a pet peeve of mine on this board.
Resign = to quit
Re-sign = to sign again (as in a new contract)
Big difference. |

It's been a pet peeve for a while, but it just seems that it is turning up a lot lately.
It's always amazing to me that ENGLISH TEACHERS consistently make stupid mistakes like that. |

| No such term as "re-sign". Use the term "renew". |
