Okay, yes, I know “kudo” is now a word and I know that back formations of words have happened before, but you know what: No. It’s incorrect. I almost always thing think (Editor’s note: I’m an idiot.) the “dumbing down of language” argument is really stupid, but since “kudos” was already singular there’s no reason to drop the ’s.’ For shame, Inquirer copy editor! You should know better.

    Is it a rule that a complaint about grammar must include a typo?

    I kid because I love.

    Wait, what typo? Erhm, I mean, it was intentional.
