| Oct 21 at 18:53 | comment | added | DjinTonic | @Daemons Actually, The New Oxford Dictionary of American English labels the noun as informal. And in several of the examples cited it's used in informal speech. | |

| Oct 21 at 18:42 | comment | added | DjinTonic | @DanielSchilling it's an adjective without the s and a (plural) noun with. I'll add another definition (attesting late 18th cent.) and an earlier example. | |

| Oct 21 at 17:49 | comment | added | Daniel Schilling | Interesting. I have never heard bona fide used as a noun - only ever as an adjective. Is it a regional or generational usage? | |
| Oct 21 at 13:58 | comment | added | DjinTonic | @TobySpeight bonafides if the OP needs it; however, I prefer bona fides (see the examples). | |
| Oct 21 at 13:20 | comment | added | Toby Speight | What's the single word you're recommending (per question tag)? | |

| Oct 20 at 21:23 | comment | added | DjinTonic | @Daemons The concept doesn't come up often in everyday conversation. One of the examples I added also uses credentials, but in scare quotes, since the underlying purpose is nefarious. The English in the examples isn't particularly formal. Also, we don't know what register the OP has in mind. | |
| Oct 20 at 21:09 | comment | added | DaemonsMercy | Most people don't use this in everyday English, however. | |
