Gammerstang commented on the word over a signature
(adverb) - I disagree as to the propriety of the usage. It seems to me that one makes a statement under his signature, whatever may be the relative position of statement and signature on the paper, exactly as a soldier fights under a certain flag though he may be on a mountain top and the colors in the valley far below him, or as a man does business under a certain firm name, though his sign may be on the first floor and his shop on the second. Be that as it may, the expression was first used in England, so far as is known.
