      I would say so too. However, if you are looking for adviCe that would be a whole different ball game. Does this new job require spelling and understanding of English as a requirement?

                                  You should resign if that is an option. If your employer has discovered that you're looking for something else their reaction should be to ask you why and what can be done to make you not want to leave not 'grill' you
