By the way, what is the plural of Kudos? According to Wikipedia in Standard British English, as in Greek, Kudos is a singular noun, and is used exclusively as such.
So what is the plural?

"Dot dot dot."

I want to go shopping with you!

Yep. And the plural of Kudos is a plural noun, and is used exclusively as such. Now then, what is the plural?

...




<_<

>_>

"Drama! DRAAAMAAA!!!"

And BANANAS! (But no Kudoses)

Kudodes.

How about kudae?

Kudii

Kudopodes.

"... Kudos has come to be widely regarded and used as a plural noun meaning accolades rather than as a singular mass noun meaning 'honor or glory.'"

Thus, people decided that, rather than a plural form, Kudos needed a singular and "The singular form kudo has been produced from kudos by back formation."


That's right. I went to such lengths to kill your one-word discussion.

I've had to edit this about 6 times. And once more to cite Dictionary.com as the source.

Here's a sentiment expressed in such a way that might help.

"That's an impressive aquarium. Much kudos to you, for your fish."

The use of the word fish is very, very deliberate.

Fishes is proper when referring to more than one species. 1 brown trout = fish. 10 brown trout = fish. 1 brown trout and 1 brook trout = fishes.

"Some commentators hold that since kudos is a singular word it cannot be used as a plural and that the word kudo is impossible. But kudo does exist; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural. Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural. By the 1920s it began to appear as a plural, and about 25 years later kudo began to appear. It may have begun as a misunderstanding, but then so did cherry and pea."
~Merriam-Webster

Done and done.

Surely you deceive us!

A bunch of crows is called a MURDER of crows.

That is so cool.

I think I stay with Mershaullk's kudopodes.
The kudos as plural is tempting too, at least it is short. But kudopodes has an especially geekonerdesque ring to it.

A murder of kudopodes to you!

You know, after thinking of all the different kinds of things someone can have on their hands, time is not a bad choice.
