For bailiffs, bards, or others who have stumbled, here’s a quick refresher.
- “Verses” refers to writing with meter and rhythm, as in a song or a poem;
- “versus” is the confrontation or opposition.
As much fun as it is to see reference to a poet’s “versus” (was Marlowe really Shakespeare’s arch nemesis?) or a court case in song (Brown verses the Board of Education might be a sweet ballad , no?), folks should probably edit more closely on this one.
