Input: Question: I have found a similar topic addressing the use of "comprise" but my question is not exactly in line with that one. I did ask this question there to keep the topic related to the use of "comprise" but it was removed since I did not follow protocol. So my apologies if this seems like a duplicate entry. When does one use "comprises of" and when "comprise"? Are they interchangeable? For example: "My name comprises 5 letters" "My name comprises of 5 letters" Which is correct? Or are they both acceptable? 
Answer: A quick look in a decent online dictionary is advisable: comprise Usage: The use of of after comprise should be avoided: the library comprises (not comprises of) 500 000 books and manuscripts Collins English Dictionary Complete and Unabridged Collins. I don't think US usage is any different. Another quote, from the internet (repunctuated): Never use 'comprise of' or 'comprises of' - but 'comprised of' is allowed. This is a passive (or arguably adjectival) usage involving comprised which some consider to be ungrammatical.
