+== Grammar dispute mediation ==
+May I ask for a staff opinion from you, please? Tiddlywinks has asked me to go to someone higher ranked than Force Fire.
+Tiddlywinks and Force Fire have been aggressively retaining usage of the incorrect "comprised of." I have numerous sources ([http://grammarist.com/usage/compose-comprise/ 1] [http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/comprise-versus-compose 2] [http://www.businesswritingblog.com/business_writing/2015/01/comprised-of-vs-composed-of-a-test.html 3] for starters, and plenty more can be found with a quick Google search) stating that despite its prevalence, such usage is grammatically wrong. They have not produced even a single source in favor of their argument that it's acceptable. I would be willing to drop this fight if even a single such source is presented, but Tiddlywinks is refusing to do so and unilaterally saying that on this matter, their unresearched ''opinion'' trumps correctness. Can you step in, please? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:42, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
