kind Like sort, kind gives rise to a usage difficulty when it is followed by of with a plural noun and needs to be preceded by a demonstrative pronoun this, that, these, those. The grammatical sequences in use are as follows: ? I think these kind of comments are most unfair. ? This kind of component is much smaller and more reliable than a valve. ?
