Myriad
There are two ways to use myriad, as a noun or an adjective. Examples: 1. There are myriad people who couldn't care less how this word is used. 2. There is a myriad of people who don't care how this word is used.
As a hockey fan, I couldn't imagine hearing "The Leafs had myriad opportunities on the power play, but failed to capitalize." "The Habs had a myriad of opportunities, but couldn't get one past Cujo" sounds much better.
So which usage is better? The noun or the adjective.

I like the ones that don't use the nouns "Leafs" or "Habs."
It's official. A new job keeps your mind busy for about one year. Then you're back on the blog posting blather.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
