In regards to some people signing off is a very annoying phrase. I don’t like sign off in this case because “it’s all about people” can be misunderstood by non-native speakers. John sign
off on the rules like the New Jersey rules.
Could mean that he reviewed and agrees to the rules. It could even mean that he accepted the rules or approved the implementation of other rules. As with all others in the movie the MC is not part of the organization that approved the rules, John has no say in the MC rules. When John was elected he just assent to it.
Is there a word that conveys signing that you have reviewed and agree to a document like Invoice?
What do you think of my “re-broadcast policy”?
