We used to grow scented geraniums outside but did not bring them in.
They come in a myriad of scents.

Actually they come in myriad scents... there is NEVER "of" after
myriad.

You know you are desperate to grouch at somebody when you pick on a stranger
over a fine point of grammar and get it wrong.

If you want to use obsolete form go right ahead... only a transvestite
freak hyphenates their name. Who's yer daddy... you haven't a clue.

Not obsolete according to the dictionary, Shelly. Remember to engage
mind, before letting the clutch out on your mouth (keyboard, whatever).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriad
In English, the term "myriad" is most commonly used to refer to a large
number of an unspecified size.

In this way "myriad" can be used as either a noun or an adjective.

Thus both "there are myriad people
outside" and "there is a myriad of people outside" are correct.

English is a hard language to learn, good luck ;O)
