Versus vs. vs.

[ZeZipster]

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

[crashNUMBERS]

I say vs...

[faster skating penguin]

vs>versus

best thread ever

[Vyk]

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.

[TasteyPies]

vs when paired with the two words, versus anytime else.

[ZeZipster]

I hate you all.

[Agent Proto]

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.

[omnitarian]

I like vs. better.

Sorry.

[Big D]

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.

[Raven Nox]

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

I remember going around asking 'Who are we versing?!' in first grade when I played baseball for the first time.

[Rase]

Versus.

[Nod]

versus. this thread is sheer Brilliance!

[Meat Puppet]

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.

[Raistlin]

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.
