Confused ......

...... by the English language.
In some threads it is written that we will resign XXXXX. As in a player who is out of contract, who wants to return.
However, if I wanted to get myself out of a work contract, I would resign my position.
Assuming I am spelling both words correctly, are there any other words with contrary meanings.

If people are going to sign again they re-sign. If they're buggering off they resign. Simples.

Aren't you missing a "-" in one of those? So you re-sign a contract and you resign a position.

The word is re-sign. Many modern day words are seeing the hyphen disappear sadly, apparently its progress. Suzy Dent says so

Effect my wife and Affect his...

Haha that's surely worth a prize
