now i understand haha

Thanks to myself for going to Toefl-iBT regularly now I know what does "Kudo" means. I've recently bumped into the word " Kudos" in a reading passage, then looked up for it in Meriam Webster dictionary and got this result:

1 : AWARD, HONOR *a score of honorary degrees andTother kudos — Time*
2 : COMPLIMENT, PRAISE *to all three should go some kind of special kudo for refusing to succumb — Al Hine*
usage 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.

This is just so exciting to me. I have a favor of " Award, honor, fame...". And, of course, love to receive "Compliments and Praises" from other people. I hope this is a lucky sign for my career with this name, so superstitious huh? lol. Actually I've been busy with 2 in-office projects and 3 private projects running together which alreadt means a lucky sign to me. I love being busy and earning money and KUDO from it !!!

What more? When I googled picture for this entry, I found some kool stuffs here:



R-kudo, yeaaaahhhh !!!
