Re: Myriad.
Well, that's not the first time I've had pie on my face, nor will it be my last, I'm sure. My high school English teacher (ca. 1949-50) gets a lot of credit for making so deep an impression for it to remain embedded in my mind for a half-century. I still favor the adjectival form and will retain it in anything I write. In future, I will check a reference or two before charging forward. The principal point I made, however, remains: too many books are full of egregious (OED definition 3) errors that a good editor should spot and correct before the story sees the light of day.
