I noticed this phenomenon about 5 years ago.
The word is versus. Ver-sus. Two syllables. Not one. I will fight anyone who disagrees.
Oh and dogs will also eat your dead face. This song needed proof reading and peer review.

VS is pronounced "Vuhs" though, innit.
Fuck it. With all the Drawers/Draws, Que/Cue/Queue, Affect/Effect, There/Their/They're, Quiet/Quite, Angel/Angle, Then/Than, Bought/Brought wordfuckery permeating our vocabulary thanks in no small part to Facebook, Mumsnet Et Al, I'm begrudgingly beginning to except that we've gone and fucked it for ourselves in regards to the English language.
Which is really fucking ironic considering that these days, just about every device we use to share our wisdom with the population has some kind of built in, context aware spell checker. I suppose over the last two decades if we've proven anything as a species, it's that we won't let technological advances get in the way of good old ignorance.
