Well – resigning/quitting – I recognize the distinction you make, I think it can be applicable but I still think a lot of it has to do with the one saying it – that is, whether I want to say I resigned or I want to say I quit. There’s a rule-following/rule-breaking thing I think about, more than a class thing. But, you know, why do these words come into creation in the first place but to describe things that are slightly different?

Of course it matters.

You contributed to now-seated political officials, not their opponents.

I can think of a few bloggers who aren’t in the favor of seated Democrats that might very well, upon whispers in the correct ears, elicit the same reaction from the Plain Dealer.

As to your second question, I think you both are seen as resigning. Do you think you did not or was I unclear in my previous comment post?

B’shalom,

Do you think it matters, just out of curiosity?

Have a good holiday, too.

From my understanding of the facts, Jeff resigned, i.e. he objected to a condition of his further employment and offered his employer a choice: change that condition or I will leave. If he had not resigned then he would have been fired.

In your case, it’s a class issue. Blue-collar workers quit, White-collar workers resign.

There is also the fine distinction that a resignation may be refused but when you quit, you quit.

For example, some folks have spent a lot of time arguing whether Jeff Coryell quit or was fired from Wide Open. Is one true and the other isn’t?

I say I resigned but some say I quit. Which is it? Is one untruthful?

If what the mother wrote is true, then the school has no recourse.

B’shalom,
