    Default Versus vs. vs.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

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

    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.
