Signed vs. Signature (What's the difference?) 🖊️ #signedvssignature #rachelsenglish

When you sign your name, you're putting down your signature. 

Sign and signature. These two words are related  but let's look at the first four letters, 

they're pronounced differently in the  word sign than in the word signature. 

In the word sign, there is no G sound. 

S, Ai diphthong, N. Sign. But in the word signature,  

that diphthong changes to the IH vowel, SI  and now we do say the G, sig, sig, signature. 

Sign.

Signature.
