It's a cool word. I think it should be spelled out.

vs>versus
best thread ever
Okay
...so tempted to just leave it as that (mock-age). Versus as a word is cool. But as X vs. Y it looks better being small and in the middle.

I personally like v. like how it's used in Court cases.
Proto v. Thread, 2005
The plaintiff accuses the defendent for... blah blah blah. :blahblah:

In the law reports in my country, it's simply "v", with no full stop.
Donoghue v Stevenson, for example.
You don't even say "versus" in our law reports, it's "and". Quite nice. Only problem is, a case like Me v You is said as "me and you". Just a random trivial detail for y'all.
When v isn't appropriate, I prefer "versus". Full words are better than abbreviations, in general.

vs. It looks better then used between two words. But any other time, yeah Versus is better.

I go the extra step and just use nothing. It's much quicker.
Take, for example, the Ninja vs. Vampire thread, and apply my rule:
Ninja Vampire
See? The awesomeness is all round, and I didn't even get RSI.

I have grown quite fond of the legal way, just simply "v".
D, I didn't know that. =o That seems kinda silly. "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" is then a court case.

Has anyone seen the movie Versus? It's like a crappy Asian adaption thing... that makes no sense at all... and the dubs are awful... :p :p It was amusing, in the WTF kind of way.

Do you think Versus would be a good name for a gladiator?

Agreed.
Edit: Raistlin, it's actually <u>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</u>. I thought I'd correct you so that you know how dumb it looks with Willy Wonka in the title.

I prefer Vs.

versus, you can't figure out its hidden mysteries if it's just vs.
And isn't what this word was made for? To destroy all mysteries and doubts? If I went with vs. I would irrevocably be going up against everything it stood for.

http://www.facets.org/Images/cinematheque/versus.jpgVersuS wasn't on the list. :p
Mind you neither was Vs. but I still put it, but still, Vs. is the way.
vs. is a wrong 'un.

I don't know if that's supposed to be a joke, but <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067992/">Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory</a>.

Wow. I really didn't realize the 1971 movie was so erroneous.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" . . . didn't Charlie own the factory already in the book?
The movie is called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and the chocolates are called "Wonka Bars."
Versus is a cool word but it is inconvenient. I prefer v
Charlie and the . . . etc. v Willy Wonka and the . . . etc.
