Learners may confuse this emotional sense with leaving a job. In sentences like "He spoke with resignation," it does not mean he is quitting; it means he is calmly accepting something bad. Also, some learners mistakenly use *"resignated"* as an adjective; the correct form is "resigned" ("He sounded resigned").
