Re: Comprise vs Consists Of ?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Just because words are plain English doesn't mean the average reader will 
understand them.

I try to avoid using my "three Cs list" (consist, comprise, compose unless 
talking about music), because there's always somebody who won't get them 
right.

Additionally, is it plain English anyway and would you try and avoid them 
completely?
