  Interesting, I never knew that grammatical holy war existed. Learn something new every day. The original mistake was just an autocorrect error. Some day I'll learn not to write posts from mobile devices. Also, I noticed you created an account just for this. Assuming it isn't a throwaway, welcome to HN. That's a cool username.

    Whilst "comprised" is a bit clunky, it's also not wrong in the slightest. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comprise https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/comprise "The factory was to be a vast installation, comprising fifty buildings" is the same kind of use.

    FWIW, I assumed autocorrect and wasn't trying to start any wars. :)

      No offense taken, I even upvoted both corrections.
