It is one of my all-time favorites in this profession of writing: comprise. I can't remember all the times I have seen the phrase "comprised of". It sends shivers down my spine. The word comprise is a verb which stands alone. A bowling set comprises 10 pins. If you really need to use"of", make it "composed of" or "consists of". That is what you were really thinking when "comprise" came into your mind. Comprise means "includes," "encompasses." It comprises several other synonyms as well.

I agree with you that there language is how you make it and what you decide to do with it. We can learn from how others write by reading and listening to each other point of view.
