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"

This week on Triple R's Breakfasters radio program we talked about one valiant internet user's battle with the phrase "comprised of". 

Listen in to the segment linked here and let us know what you think of this contentious construction. Another excellent perspective on the incidence of "comprised of" is here at ArrantPedantry.com.
