Description
The use of "comprise" has been increasing in the draft (e.g., compare N4791 to N4820). The uses are correct, but the word "comprise" is commonly misunderstood to be a synonym of "include" (it is not; it is a synonym of "consist of"), both by native English-language speakers and by people whose first language is not English. I'd suggest using "consist of".
