Zoo comprises animals.
I nearly always excise that from documents though, because no matter how you use it, someone thinks it's wrong. And even if they're a wrong-headed crackpot, the damage is done.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Heather is correct.
Wait, no she's not. A zoo is composed of animals, and a zoo comprises animals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For a few years I could never remember the word "antagonist" in any applicable context. I could feel the need to use it creeping up on me, and kept swearing I'd just write it down and keep the paper in my pocket at all times.
Forgot to do that too.
Made the bit of bio class where we discussed antagonistic muscle pairs really frustrating. But at least I could go look up the word in the textbook.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ita, if I'm not misremembering the ER episode of which the Empress feels the squick was a repeat.

Maria, google agrees with you. I just spent a few minutes going through a furry mailing list and reading their responses. If I had less work to do, I'd check and see what the same people had to say about CSI, which I thought was way rude.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gah. I've got another hour here, and my brain has just shut down. Apparantly there is only so much XML my brain can handle when I have a cold....

Howdy peeps. Skimmed a bit of the last 3,000+ messages, and then finally skipped.
The only real comment I have to make is that I am very amused that the earthquake averse think they are safe by not living in California. I have some very bad news for you -- you are just playing the odds.
Other than that, hi shrift, glad you finally joined us. How are you feeling today?

I think we should write the Buffistas Usage Guide to Troublesome and Irritating Words. At the top of the list for me, is "hopefully" but comprised is right there too.

OH! and excitement over the new OC. Cause, I want a new tag.
Sadly, though, I have a meeting at a hotel by the airport until 8:00 so I'll be watching it on Tivo delay.
ita, I'm sitting here randomly thinking that all of the Buffista Routines for getting to the car have made me realize that maybe I should take Krav if for no other reason than I could (possibly) protect myself.
