Why oh why must so many firms use the unfortunate construction “is comprised of” in their marketing materials and websites? Who told them that this was acceptable? The worst part is that I've been so immersed in firm websites (at least that's the reason I'm sticking to) that I've started using it myself--ghastly.

Hey, thanks for coming to my site! Yeah, you'd think that a bunch of lawyers would be less verbose. Then again...I kind of just proved my own point...
"Is comprised of" has 2 extra words. "Comprised" would convey exactly the same message, and much more efficiently!
