In the first phrase of that sentence, the fact that I said "out-of-touch" management makes it hard to believe that management could actually have respect for Jim.
#KUDOS MEANING HOW TO#
"Jim is a sociopathic sycophant who has figured out how to get all the kudos and bonuses from our out-of touch management while Jim, the most diligent and effective worker in the group, must be content with the sincere props of his closest colleagues." But I think that meaning is the issue here.īut, can I do it without using multiple sentences to set it up? How about the following? It sill would be grammatically correct, of course. In the above paragraph, interchanging props and kudos would give an inappropriate meaning. Bob must be content with our sincere props." He not only does all of his work flawlessly, he picks up the slack for everyone else, especially for Jim. Bob, on the other hand, is the best worker in our firm. Someone else generally has to redo what he has done when we notice that it's starting to fall apart. But, we all know that his work is insubstantial and shaky. He wins the productivity awards every time. "Jim knows how to present his work in a way that makes it seem to be great. Thus, both the sentence that contains "kudos" and the sentence that contains "props" are examples of sentences in which it is correct to use one but not the other. In the following paragraph I am using both the word "kudos" and "props." I believe that interchanging the two words change the meaning of the paragraph.
The degree of inappropriateness is not absolute but I still think these are good examples.
Here are some cases which fulfill your criteria of providing examples in which one word would be appropriate and the other would not.
