wealth itself (in it's tremendously myriad forms)

"Myriad," as you've used it, is synonymous with *countless.* How can one
modify 'countless?'


Ah, let me count the ways.


Less countless? More countless? Partly countless?


Double-plus countless.

Actually, you are not quite correct. "Myriad" means widely varying in
type, form, size, or other characteristic; also very numerous. I like the
sound of it better than Carl Sagan's "Millie-yons and millie-yons."


That was "billyuns and billyuns," IIRC.
