Kudos To The Blogger ! A truly fine work of art as well as an award-winning essay to be ! Simile A simile (/ˈsɪməli/) is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Although similes and metaphors are similar, similes explicitly use connecting words (such as like, as, so, than, or various verbs such as resemble), though these specific words are not always necessary. While similes are mainly used in forms of poetry that compare the inanimate and the living, there are also terms in which similes and personifications are used for humorous purposes and comparison. Kudos mass noun 1. Praise and honour received for an achievement. ‘she was looking for kudos rather than profit’ 2. North American informal: Compliments or congratulations. ‘Kudos to everyone who put the event together’ Usage Kudos comes from Greek and means ‘praise’. Despite appearances, it is not a plural form. This means that there is no singular form kudo and that the use of kudos as a plural, as in the following sentence, is incorrect: he received many kudos for his work ( correct use is he received much kudos for his work ) Origin: Late 18th century: Greek. |
