COMPRISE AND COMPOSE
Comprise is widely misused, so it’s easy to pick up those incorrect uses and adopt them in your own writing. Here are two correct uses of comprise and compose:
The EU is composed of 27 member countries.
The EU comprises 27 member countries.
To quote Grammar Girl: “The parts compose the whole, but the whole comprises the parts.” You can read her in-depth discussion here.
One easy trick to remember is: don’t use comprised of.
FLOUT AND FLAUNT
From a recent news story: “…it’s not worth your time to get angry or confrontational if someone else seems to be flaunting the rules.”
Flaunt means show off or make an ostentatious display, often in the context of wealth or an abundance of something. Flout means disregard, usually with contempt.
So, you flout rules, and you flaunt your 7-digit income.

TENOR AND TENURE
Tenure refers to the length of time someone has held a position, particularly in academia. But you can also refer to someone’s tenure in Congress or as an author’s agent.
Tenor, when not describing a type of singing voice, refers to the length of a bank loan or insurance contract or to the tone of a culture or discussion. There are helpful examples of the latter on Merriam-Webster’s site.
