pet peeve:

"of" does not belong after "myriad." Myriad is a synonym of "many", and is supposed to be used the same way. You wouldn't say "a many of", and likewise, you don't say "a myriad of."

Sorry to trot out the grammar police and I know that this is common usage, and has almost become "accepted", but it still bugs me...

Carry on.
