Usage notes
Although it ends in an -s and may fool people into thinking this is a plural noun, kudos actually comes from a Greek singular noun, and in English it is used as a singular noun as well. A singular form "kudo" with plural "kudos" has been used, with the singular word meaning "a statement of praise," but this usage has been discouraged.
:Kudos is given if you avoid making the mistake of using a plural verb with this word.
