Just a small rant.

Myriad means 'a lot of' not 'a lot', so you don't say 'a myriad of toys' or whatever, you say 'myriad toys'

Sorted.

You forgot your full stop on "OK"!

Sorry. However, your correction does apply to me, and I was feeling sensitive!

Oooh, I was beating myself up about that lack of punctuation (although I was posing it more as a question, so should've been a question mark really.)

Shame on you for being myriad-of guilty!

I used to think that until I read up on it. It turns out either is correct.

Well I never!

I too have just read up on it and can see I am a chump and should've checked my facts before coming a-smug on here.

Boh.
