Not really pirated, just misused constantly and everywhere. PLEASE: If you must use "myriad," just think "many." It's "myriad stars in the sky," NOT "a myriad of stars in the sky." While I'm glad to have found a forum for venting about this poor little misused word, I hope all the wordies contributing to your piracy pile realize that it's often the hoi polloi's misunderstanding or misuse of words that causes language to grow and change. There's a reason Latin is called a dead language!
