Also in another installment of grammar lessons from lily, using the phrase "comprised of" is incorrect but commonly used anyway. It's either "composed of" or "_______ and ________ comprise __________". For example, you could say "the choir is composed of many talented singers" or "many talented singers comprise the choir" but not "the choir is comprised of many talented singers"
