Great News and Sad News

 

Larry and Madeline Whitehead have changed Brokerages from Saab Realtors® Corporation which we have enjoyed for many years, working together.

We are now with the Brokerage Heatherman Homes LLC in Fredericksburg, VA. The commute into Tyson’s has been a bear for us from Stafford, VA. It is sad that we had to leave a Brokerage that has been very kind and helpful to us. That drive was taking a toll on us. We decided it would be best for us to become realtors® with a Brokerage near home. Therefore, we are a part of the Heatherman Homes Team. Frances Heatherman with South of NoVa Homes Team as part were recently ranked in the top 100 real estate agents (overall - all companies, all types) in America. 

 

The Wall Street Journal has done a study of the "top 400's" or Top 100's of different industries. They have been gathering data since the beginning of the year and have finally calculated nationwide agent production and Frances Heatherman & team managed to make it to one of the highest producers in the whole country.  Its’ called "top 400" but it is really the top 100 agents in America in 4 different categories (teams/individuals and units and dollar value).

We say Ha-Rah for Frances and High Kudos.

 

We figured since we were going to use the word Kudos, we should know the right definition of the word. You know, how we pick up words in our travel through life. We, thus use the word as a part of our vocabulary without really looking up its’ meaning. So for us, who don’t know or for us, that think we know here it is from www.dictionary.com is the result.

First of all, did we know this? Kudo may also be an erroneous singular of the word kudos
and then did we know this? Kudos (often /ˈkuːdoʊz/), from the Greek κῦδος (not to be confused with κύδος "taunt"), kydos, (literally "that which is heard of") means "fame" and "renown" resulting from an act or achievement. Extending "kudos" to another individual is often done as a praising remark. It entered English as British university slang in the early 1800s. In Standard British English, as in Greek, Kudos is a singular and not a plural noun, and is used exclusively as such in Britain. However, in common use in the US the noun is often plural: She received many kudos ['ku:doʊz] for her work.

The term is often attributed to recognition in the workplace with many Employee Recognition Programs developed solely to recognize the achievement of individuals.

Usage expanded again as the term entered the vocabulary of the gaming community. For example, you can earn kudos for completing certain in-game tasks, such as those in the Metropolis Street Racer, the Project Gotham Racing series and as part of the 'Varrock Museum' mini-task in the MMORPG Runescape.

All those who knew the meaning of the word, watch out, we're catching up to you!

Thanks for bearing up with us on this word trip! 

bear: to be patient or forbearing with: Please bear with me until I finish the story—Idiom, (I do not know how we got into this and are still carrying it on,) an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements, as kick the bucket or hang one's head, or from the general grammatical rules of a language, as the table round for the round table, and that is not a constituent of a larger expression of like characteristics.
