MYRIAD Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
1 week ago - Still, we understand that “myriad of” raises the hackles of myriad folks who were taught at one point or another that myriad is only to be used as an adjective, and that phrases like “a myriad of emailers vexed about myriad” should be shunned in favor of “myriad emailers vexed about myriad.” Now, to each their own lexical peeves and pleasures, but let it be known that myriad entered the English language in the mid-1500s as a noun, and since its introduction has been used in the senses of “ten thousand,” “a set of ten thousand,” “an immense or indefinitely large number,” and “a great multitude”; furthermore, it has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton, Thoreau, Twain, and DuBois—no slouches when it comes to wielding words.

r/ENGLISH on Reddit: Pronunciation of Myriad in American English
April 15, 2025 -
Hello! Native American English speaker here.
I grew up pronouncing myriad with an open a like in advert (MEER-ee-ad). This is what I've heard my mother say growing up. I've recently found out that this is nonstandard when my friend looked at me like a crazy person for saying it that way. Do any other American English speakers say it this way?

Myriad. Explain to me its use.
‘Myriad’ originally meant 10,000. So its original use is comparable to a word like ‘hundred’. "The fire gave off a myriad tiny sparks." "His head filled with myriads of questions." etc. The more genuinely adjectival uses developed from there. They seem reasonable to me. I think all your example sentences are grammatically fine so it's really about personal preference and stylistic decisions. More on reddit.com
