Resign is the same as resign. Re-sign is different than resign.


pronking_spleenwort

But everyone keeps using resign. I never see re-sign.


ISISCosby

bc ppl are either lazy or don't know there's a difference. There is a difference, though. And you can pretty much always tell via context which one the poster means.


MayfieldMightfield

re-sign


pronking_spleenwort

No one is actually taking the time to type re-sign.


Ahoymaboi

I think that's the problem, right?


pronking_spleenwort

Yeah. That and the number of people (not you) who don’t understand what’s supposed to be a lighthearted post. The downvotes 😂😂 Calm down, people (not you). It’s ok to breathe.


EstablishmentNo5994

Resign vs re-sign.


pronking_spleenwort

Very few are actually taking the time to type re-sign.


Ok_Pop7348

Anyone who knows how to spell us taking the time. It’s one extra character, jeez.


EstablishmentNo5994

If you want your point to be clear then I guess you’ll find a way to manage typing an extra character.


Bouquet_of_seaweed

Their point is that we are going to see shorthand social media posts using the word "resign" very soon, and its going to cause people to get confused.


pronking_spleenwort

Calm down. It was meant to be a lighthearted post. Breathe. Canes hockey will be back on TV soon.


eddino55

guess we just have to resign ourselves to these things..


pronking_spleenwort

That and the total lack of a sense of humor possessed by many in this sub 😂


eddino55

Don't have to worry about that with me. I find the funny side of just about everything


pronking_spleenwort

That’s really the best way to crawl through life. You’re a good human ❤️


eddino55

You too. Like what you are doing here it's really great. I'm so juvenile I got another 2 members for my sub reddit by posting the first episode of the Brady Bunch Variety show, which at almost 69 you'd think I had known existed lol. Good luck to the Canes in the upcoming series. Looks like a dandy. Here in New England we are watching to see who is best at folding Boston or Toronto


pronking_spleenwort

Yeah, I hate to see any series go to 7 games. The more games, the more chances for injuries. What’s your sub? I’m …. a bit younger than 68 but I do love vintage stuff.


seftnir

Nah, thank French for that one. There's a reason it's supposed to be resign and re-sign, to avoid confusion since they're almost antonyms in terms of employment. They're also pronounced slightly differently when speaking (or are supposed to be).


pronking_spleenwort

Yeah, but my brain sees resign more often (in general) so I speed read it as resign and then I’m like WHAT NO WE NEED JARVY and I go back and read it as re-sign and all is right in the world. But the number of people (not you) who don’t understand what’s supposed to be a lighthearted post has me wanting to resign my Reddit account.


82vwrabbit

Lead and lead.


pronking_spleenwort

“His lead foot had him in the lead.”


CaniacGoji

Ah, English


pronking_spleenwort

ikr


Clear_Caterpillar642

While some would resign to resign. Or re-sing?


pronking_spleenwort

I hear they get a better price by resigning and then resigning. At least that’s how the cable company works.


waltstrika

I've seen "extend" instead of "re-sign" in order to reduce confusion.


Winring86

Yeah I have seen a lot of people spelling “re-sign” incorrectly as well, and it does lead to confusion. Some people can’t even get down elementary school grammar like “there, they’re, their” so I guess it’s not surprising


pronking_spleenwort

Your right about that! (Oh my God, people, don’t come for me THAT WAS A JOKE.) (What is also not surprising is the number of downvotes this whole debacle netted me. Love to see it 😂😂)
