Though actually, it looks like a plural because it ends in s, and many English speakers treat it that way (“kudos go to…”). Older careful style treats it as one lump of praise, not as many little pieces. A lot of people now invent “a kudo” as if the s came off; you will hear it, but many teachers still mark it as odd.

Though actually不過其實, it looks like a plural它看起來像複數 because it ends in s因為字尾有 s, and many English speakers treat it that way所以很多英語母語者也把它當複數用 ("kudos go to…")（例如「kudos go to…」）。Older careful style比較講究的舊式用法 treats it as one lump of praise把它當成一整團讚美, not as many little pieces不是很多一小份一小份的東西。A lot of people now invent現在很多人會自己造出 "a kudo""a kudo"這個字 as if the s came off好像把 s 拿掉了一樣; you will hear it你會聽到這種說法, but many teachers still mark it as odd但很多老師還是覺得怪怪的。
