I am a fully paid-up member of the Apostrophe Appreciation Society and am irritated when it is misused - so I am annoyed with myself for this error. It will be corrected pronto.

Cheers TB, much appreciated.

Both are correct - an apostrophe denotes that a letter or letters has / have been omitted from a word, or in some cases from two or more words linked together by the apostrophe.

 

Versus is the correct spelling, so v's is acceptable, as the apostrophe denotes the missing letters. However vs is also acceptable as this is the usual way it is written and hence has been accepted into the English language by common usage.

Oooh, cheers Dagsy! I love talking grammar! We were taught grammar in our foreign language classes - essential for learning another language (especially German!) grin

 

They didn't seem to worry about it in the English classes.

 

Don't believe kids today know their subjunctive form their elbows! laugh
