"Comprised of": point/ counterpoint

It seems like we're constantly changing this.

Hey, all you grammatical pedants out there: Check out this article about a Wikipedia editor named Bryan Henderson, who has made it his mission to eradicate "comprised of" from our favorite online encyclopedia.

Then, here's The Guardian's David Shariatmadari offering his viewpoint on why Henderson's efforts are misguided.

After you've finished reading both, please stop writing "comprised of". For example, America comprises 50 states; it is not comprised of 50 states. Use it like you would use "include": The bigger thing includes, or comprises, the smaller things. You wouldn't say "is included of", would you?

And then go grab a beer. It's Friday.
