Kudos to the Philadelphia Orchestra which appears to be taking Europe by storm.
They are a first class orchestra for a first-class city.
“They are a first class orchestra for a first-class city.”
You got that right, Bill!
I would personally rather pay to watch and hear the Philadelphia Orchestra play beautiful music than watch a bunch of overpaid athletes bobble a baseball.
I used to be staunch Phillies fan but now have become a devotee of beautiful music, good books, a lot of scrumptiuos eating and sunshine.
When I die I want to be placed on the same cloud as the fabulous Philadelphia Orchestra and Leopold Stokowski.
What’s a kudo? Are they expensive?
In the 19th century, kudos 1entered English as a singular noun, a transliteration of a Greek singular noun kŷdos meaning “praise or renown.” It was at first used largely in academic circles, but it gained wider currency in the 1920s in journalistic use, particularly in headlines: Playwright receives kudos. Kudos given to track record breakers. Kudos is often used, as in these examples, in contexts that do not clearly indicate whether it is singular or plural; and because it ends in -s, the marker of regular plurals in English, kudos has come to be widely regarded and used as a plural noun meaning “accolades” rather than as a singular mass noun meaning “honor or glory.”
The singular form kudo has been produced from kudos by back formation, the same process that gave us the singular pea from pease, originally both singular and plural, sherry from Xeres (an earlier spelling of the Spanish city Jerez), and cherry from the French singular noun cherise. This singular form has developed the meanings “honor” and “statement of praise, accolade.”
Both the singular form kudo and kudos as a plural are today most common in journalistic writing. Some usage guides warn against using them.
