ReactOS is one of those projects that has been on the net for a long time. You see it resurface every now and then and each time it looks better than it did before. I have to hand it to the their team, they have tenacity.

For others like me who are unfamiliar with the word tenacity: "The state or quality of being tenacious", which in turn is "Holding or tending to hold persistently to something, such as a point of view" or "Tending to retain; retentive".

When I use that word I'm conveying "doggedness: persistent determination." (It's part of my Googled vocabulary.) Either way, it's certainly meant as a compliment. :)

While we're at it, you should also read this: http://www.google.com/search?q=complement+vs+compliment

Thank you, sir. I honestly didn't realize I had been using the wrong compl*ment all these years.

I think the right word was compliment. Complement means goes well with, compliment means a good comment.

I suspect coderdude edited his post to change the spelling.

I double-click the word, and get "If you have tenacity, you are very determined and do not give up easily."
