how do you pronounce vs? i pronounce it "verse" but many people pronounce both as "versus." this condundrum is quite interesting and entirely deserving of its own topic.

vs. is jsut an abbreviation for "versus". Do you pronounce Mr. as "mister" or as "mer"?

 

[MrDingleDangle]

Freddy vs. Jason comes out in 2 weeks! W00T! 😎

I think they've also got Alien vs. Predator, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Bush vs. Anything Remotely Scientific in the works. 😉

And that's all I have to contribute to this thread, versus more enlightening and read-worthy posts.
