 Merriam-Webster notes, "Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both
 in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a
 mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an
 adjective.... however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th
 century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton
 (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur
 frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it."
