Because I'm a Nice Guy...and a Geek

So I'm going to start a grammar series, to make you sound more educated.

First lesson: "is comprised of" is always wrong. Never write or say that phrase. The proper usage is simply "comprises." The word "comprises" means "is made up of." So, you say, "the list comprises all members who have paid their dues." Or, "a PB&J comprises bread, jelly, and peanut butter."

Next lesson: the serial comma.

however, "Is composed of" is okay, is that correct?

:-D
