    For those who don't know the difference.
    Resigned means that a person leaves his job or position voluntarily. Re-signed means that a person signs a contract again for the same position.

    Sure, and I agree. But why is this coming up now? Getting it out of the way before the off-season begins?

    Some posters are getting sad in the Messina thread about him "resigning" from his coaching position overseas.

    It can also mean coming to accept an inevitable, if less than ideal, situation;
    e.g. The Spurs have resigned themselves to Matt Bonner.

    While in regards to sign language the other has the same meaning as repeating a word or phrase;
    e.g. Because the hearing impaired journalist was looking away the first time, the coach had to re-sign Matt Bonner.

    It's just a shame that it is that way, one of the most confusing things in the English language.

    I'm surprised no one here has called you a grammar nazi and told you to STFU.

    Too many people here enjoy wallowing in their ignorance.

    If the plural of mouse is mice, then why is the plural of house not hice?

    English is just ed up in general, at least in terms of spelling and pronounciation. ( did I even spell that right?)

    I know that...I was just applying a pattern.

    Don't get into a spell-check/grammar-check fight with me...you know you won't like the results...
