I removed the phrase "So in fact kudos is plural" because it does not logically follow the much more reasonable quote from Merriam-Webster that it seemed to want to summarize this quote explains why people use "kudos" as a plural, and "kudo" as a singular, but does not exclude using "kudos" as singular in any way. Redirected to English plural where this point of view is discussed and dismissed. "Kudos" is apparently incorrect whenever it appears, for them.Ĭomparison with the word "furniture" sends them into blustering rages. I know several people who adamantly insist that "kudo" is the singular, and "kudoses" is the plural, of something.

Since the word entered the language by slang, I think we should be especially liberal in accepting whatever anyone happens to say on this matter. Let's remember that prescriptive standards are artificial, by definition there's not a single person who speaks standard English as such, as everyone has deviations from it.
