/me grumbles about the improper use of the word “myriad” and the myriad people who misuse it the same way this article does
Actually, that’s a typo. :) Should be “myriad of.” Good catch though!
Er, what I was saying is that “myriad of” is wrong. Substitute the word “innumerable” as a test.
“So here’s to all of the innumerable of wonderfully geeky ways we find it.”
That doesn’t make any sense. “Myriad of” is commonly written by those who aren’t linguistics nerds. Check the examples on dictionary.com.
(“myriad of” is what it said before. someone fixed it.)
I assume you subscribe to the adjective-only definition of myriad. It does indeed have a noun form, which was used correctly in this instance. You can have a a myriad (a great number) of things. Others can be myriad. Both usages are correct. No need to grumble over the noun form.
Well, Websters disagrees with you, but I suppose it's possible that they're wrong: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/myriad – but I was under the impression that it could be a noun as well (meaning "a large number").
From one linguistics geek to another, here's a tidbit: http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=…
