  • When people pronounce the word "versus" as "verse".
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      When people turn the preposition versus into the (totally made up) verb verse or versing.

      Like "we are going to verse each other" or "today we are versing our rival school."

      WTH?

        When they pronounce it as "V" as in Roe v. Wade.

            That's okay in legal contexts. In fact, that is the default/norm.

            Now, it is not okay in sports contexts. Mayweather vee Pacquiao.

                  Dont think I've heard that from anyone over or under 19. Maybe I have heard it but just dismissed it as teenage babble.

                      Or Batman v. Superman, for that matter! I was expecting a scintillating courtroom drama a la Crichton adaptation!

                          Like the blonde in the SUV that can't turn left on a green yield? I swear if I have to spend another turn of the light watching you hesitate with the nearest oncoming car half a block away......

                          Today's pet peeve is co-workers that use the non-existent word "expresso" to refer to a common caffeinated beverage.
