In case it's worth it to you, either when you return with your new account after this one is inevitably blowtorched off the site, or on next week's spelling test, the word you're looking for is "tenet" (a principle or belief), not "tenant" (a rental resident).

Fair enough, but do you have an argument against what I am saying?

I'm not a troll, I believe this. I'm actually baffled that people can't see how obvious it is. I'm highly credentialed/successful in the tech industry. In the case that I have no intelligence what so ever, explain this comment you have linked. To me, he's pointing out some obscure fact, that not all Africans look the same. Fine, but 95%+ do, can we argue about the general concept? Or do I have to be confined to spelling and grammar mistake arguments? Along with nitpicking? Personal insults?
