[edit] Comprises

In a recent edit summary: "someone reversed "is comprised of" to "comprises" (which completely changes the meaning)" so simplified wording to "is made up of"

"Comprises" means "is made up of" or "is composed of". "Is comprised of" is flagged as informal or incorrect by many dictionaries. See also wikt:comprise. The "is made up of" wording is fine too though, so no need to change it. -- JHunterJ 20:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
