Some dictionaries now list the nonsense word “millenniums” to reflect its usage by the less educated. It is akin to dictionaries now listing “loan” as a verb. “Friends, Romans , countryman LOAN me your ears”

Some dictionaries now list the nonsense word millenniums...Now list? That wasn't true, say, in the 1800s? You know that?

Well, it actually can be used correctly, for entirely separate eras. A past millennium and a millennium to come, are collectively and correctly millenniums. Otherwise, it’s wrong.
