What does the /s/ before the signature mean on the document sent by Nintendo?

Searching the internet for it is making me increasingly upset. No I don't mean Xbox s, I put the damn thing in quotes for a reason.



It signifies a "conformed signature": a legal way to sign an electronic document using a typed signer's name instead of an actual signature.

tldr: a legally binding typed signature.

No, I don't think it makes sense either.


I think it makes more sense when you consider how many circumstances in which we do handwritten signatures, yet the recipient of the signature has no intent or method to verify it against your usual signature


>I put the damn thing in quotes for a reason

I don't remember when Google stopped honoring the "..." convention but it's very annoying


Signature.
