first thing you should never do is post a thread telling people from all over the world that your mr winkie doesn;t wink. It could cause psychological problems after you fix the possible physical one. I'm thinking its more psycological cause as the problem you describe this thread is a bit limp :roll:

Is it really just "myriad problems" without "of"? Sounds bit funny. (I'm not native speaker so I don't know anything.)

yep in this case the edanticpay uncays are right... 'myriad' is an adjective not a collective noun...

you can still be quite correct saying "a murder of crows" though, without even having to murder any crows.

...

none of which helps the original poster maintain a stiffy....

I can't sustain my erections, what should i do?

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a myriad of problems.

When using myriad as an objective there's no need for the "of"...

Mr Pedantic says, "glad to be of service y'all"

Nor is there a need for the "a."

Another pleasant admoniton brought to you by The Flowery Words Man.

BTW . . . is "an objective" anything like the object of a preposition? :wink:

Actually, 'a' and 'of' can be used when using the word as a noun, and can also be used together.

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.

It's actually a singular cardinal number i.e. 'there are 100 myriad reason's why I cannot sustain an erection'

Since your explanation of this issue (strikingly similar to Wikipedia's text, I might add) is a literal one, perhaps you noticed that we said there's no need to use "a" and "of," not that their inclusion was incorrect.

Uh-oh! áÂèáÅéÇ . . I am sooooo busted! Actually the second paragraph isn't similar, it's exactly the same, on account of the fact I pasted it from aforementioned website.

The rest I dun all by myself. Don't get you knickers in a twist old chap, Just playing the game, you know?

I DID notice that you didn't say that the inclusion of 'a' and 'of' are incorrect. I'm glad you noticed that. Thanks! Damn! I should have the courage of my convictions. That's the last time I quote from silly old Wikipedia.

Just wondering if all this discussion about language and sentence structure is a cover for coyness to come up with an answer to the OPs question?

One point of advice, be careful taking Viagra - a guy told me his friend once took a little too much and ended up with a hard-on for over six hours! I would think that would be quite painful.

I asked what his friend did for the remaining five hours and fifty eight minutes!

:D

Too much of a good thing is not always best.

My advice to your friend is "Do everything in Moderation".

Question:- Is your friend Blind now, has he hairy palms? I think so. Ha ha cheers Dekka

don't sweat it weakiepedia as far as i know weakiepedia is public domain. it's a great crib sheet but easier to just post a link, saves typing.

although i'm a big fan of cut-and-paste, too... i haven't re-installed my OED, so this isfrom dictionary.com:

Usage Note: Throughout most of its history in English myriad was used as a noun, as in a myriad of men. In the 19th century it began to be used in poetry as an adjective, as in myriad men. Both usages in English are acceptable, as in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Myriad myriads of lives." This poetic, adjectival use became so well entrenched generally that many people came to consider it as the only correct use. In fact, both uses in English are parallel with those of the original ancient Greek. The Greek word mūrias, from which myriad derives, could be used as either a noun or an adjective, but the noun mūrias was used in general prose and in mathematics while the adjective mūrias was used only in poetry.

so no amount of backpedaling can save the pedants from confessing to an unnecessary correction. my confession is in the mail...

Also Mr Pedantic the the article, 'a', must also be omitted due to the countable/plural of 'problems' (countable noun).

And please bear in mind the the article can remain if he is refering to a singular problem, which as he is using the word 'myriyad' I would suggest that he is not.

I believe he referes to the causes of the erecticle dysnunction, which I refered to prieviously, as as having a multitude of possible causes. The use of the preposition "of" is 100% legit!!!!

"of' in this context referes to highlighting or showing emphasis to 1 of a specific group.

" One of the days of the month" for example shows this in a double form in one sentence.

So therefore it could be 'one of a miriyad of problems.'

The trick is finding which is the trigger... and ensuring your own grammatical knowledge is not full of holes before using it to whitisize or to troll (both new but acceptable verbs, based on common meaning in the infinitive form..... With 'to') :wink:

Now what shall I do about my penis please. :?: :?: :?: :?: :cry: :cry: :cry:

thanks for the advice .... please keep em coming. :D:D:D

But it's the wrong colour :o

I heard there's myriad colours that are acceptable to myriad females

JESUS CHRIST....... will you people stop using singular articals to express a noun (compound or otherwise) in a countable/plursl form..'are' my good man not 'is' and as a contraction use.... wait there is no contraction for a written form but many natives (out of laziness) say "there's 5 cars".. but its wrong

anyway, my erections
