[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The use of the word "myriad" NEVER requires an article preceding it. For example, "A myriad of problems" is not proper use; "myriad problems" is the correct form. Two pronunciation peeves: fentanyl is pronounced "fen-tan-ill" not "fen-tan-awl." Nuclear is "knew-klee-ar" not "new-kew-lar."[/quote] Thank you. The normalization of “a myriad of” is killing me. [/quote] Not everyone agrees with you on "myriad." [url]https://www.dictionary.com/e/how-do-you-use-the-word-myriad/[/url] [url]https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-fiction/myriad-vs-myriad-of-grammar-rules[/url][/quote] +1 both are now deemed correct but “a myriad of” is actually the more traditional usage.
