I've just come across this again on the internet, having listened recently to one of my supposed superiors at work give a talk on several topics including the "central tenants" of what our service provides.
Now I've just read on an economics forum about the central tenants of US capitalism.
IT'S FUCKING TENET YOU FUCKING MORONS.
TENET IS LATIN
YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT AND THEREFORE USE THE WORD TENANT WHICH SOUNDS SIMILAR
TENANT IS SOME BLOKE RENTING YOUR FLAT
Mother of christ, this is probably the most anger inducing thing I know. I know why they do it, it's because they never studied Latin, and so a word like Tenet wouldn't make much sense, but also because they are obviously so poorly read that they have never seen repeated correct use in English.
So they substitute with tenant, as if to say that "your core topic - i.e., the place where people would like to rent out - is on x, y, z". It's so stupid, and yet it continues.
