You Keep Using that Word… “Comprised”

As a matter of fact, Florin is comprised of 8 minor city-states.
INIGO MONTOYA
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
VIZZINI
Am I going mad, or did the word “think” escape your lips!? “Comprised” means “made up” or “formed.”
INIGO MONTOYA
No, it doesn’t. You’re confusing “comprise” with “compose.” “Comprise” means “to include” or “to contain.” You should be saying, “Florin comprises 8 minor city-states” or “Florin is composed of 8 minor city-states.”
VIZZINI
For your information, I’ve seen it used my way all over the place. Even in the Guilder Morning Herald.
INIGO MONTOYA
That doesn’t make it right. Your way actually means, “Florin is included of 8 minor city-states” or “Florin is contained of 8 minor city-states.” It makes no sense. You may think I’m being pedantic, but you sound like an idiot.
VIZZINI
Oh… have it your way. I’ll have to remember this for my next battle of wits. You know, for a mercenary sot, you’re pretty smart.
FEZZIK
Wanna see me light my fart?
VIZZINI
Aaaaarrrrghhh!
