I have found a similar topic addressing the use of "comprise" but my question is not exactly in line with that question. I did ask this question there to keep the topic related to the us 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?
"My name comprises 5 letters"
"My name comprises of 5 letters"
