That's entirely the fault of Mazda, because "millenia (sic)" isn't even a word. The plural of "millennium" (note the second 'n') is "millennia." Stupid advertising departments... I'm still refusing to use "myriad" as a noun, too (as in "a myriad of" something), because it just sounds wrong. "Myriad" is and always will be an adjective (as in "There exist myriad solutions to the problem of skinning a cat."). Don't forget the wonderful singular "criteria" and "media"...
