Myriad may be used either as an adjective (there are myriad people outside) or as a noun (there is a myriad of people outside), [5] but there are small differences. The former might imply that it is a diverse group of people whereas the latter usually does not.
A famous example for lexical ambiguity is the following sentence: "Wenn hinter Fliegen Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen hinterher.", meaning "When flies fly behind flies, then flies fly in pursuit of flies." [40] [circular reference] It takes advantage of some German nouns and corresponding verbs being homonymous. While not noticeable ...
In Chinese, ten thousand or "myriad" is the largest numerical order of magnitude in common usage, and is used ubiquitously as a synonym for "indefinitely large number". The term wansui (萬歲), literally meaning "ten thousand years", is thus used to describe a very long life, or even immortality for a person.
I don't agree. The word "Myriad" should be used in exactly the same way as the word "thousand", and similarly, "myriads" as "thousands". Or as "million"; for a myriad is the unit of 10,000, that lies between those two. As for the preceding word, that depends solely on whether the "myriad(s)" is singular or plural.

A myriad is an area 100 km × 100 km square i.e. it is 10,000 (one myriad) km 2. 100 of these squares would be one million km 2.. The term has a particular use in connection with the British Ordnance Survey National Grid and the US Military Grid Reference System, where the grids are divided into 100 km × 100 km squares, each with a two letter prefix.
The value of a myriad to the power of itself, 10000 10000 = 10 40000. It has a total of 25 divisors, whose geometric mean is a whole number, 100 (the number of primes below this value is 25). [5] It has a reduced totient of 500, and a totient of 4,000, with a total of 16 integers having a totient value of 10,000. [6] [7]
The number system in use at that time could express numbers up to a myriad (μυριάς — 10,000), and by utilizing the word myriad itself, one can immediately extend this to naming all numbers up to a myriad myriads (10 8). [3] Archimedes called the numbers up to 10 8 "first order" and called 10 8 itself the "unit of the second order".
