Another oft-mangled word is "kudos".  Most folks think, because it
ends in "s" I guess, that it's the plural of "kudo".  Actually,
the singular and plural look the same, but to use "kudos" in the
plural is to say "glories be (to whomever)".  English does let you
say that.  Alas, it doesn't let you mean anything by it.

A kudos to all readers who use it correctly.
