does anyone know what the plural form of "Versus" would be?

Hi jbpaul17

In English the word 'versus' is a preposition. Why do want to attempt to make that word plural?

Hi Paul,

Did you possibly mean 'verse'? In this case the plural would be 'verses'...

In this situation, we're referring to "Versus" as though it were a "Match up" but Versus happens to be the preferred word. Obviously, "Match Ups" would be easy, but we're trying to identify the plural form for "Versus". Any ideas?

Hi jbpaul17

As I mentioned before, the word 'versus' is not a noun -- it's a preposition.

Are you saying you want to invent a new noun?
If so, then you'll also have to invent the plural form.

To invent the plural form of an invented noun in English, I would not recommend that you also invent a new form for making it plural. Instead I'd recommend following the usual rules for making a word plural (i.e. in this case, adding -es to the end should do the trick.)

Out of curiosity, was there any special reason that you wanted to capitalize the word 'versus'?

Having said all that, please keep in mind that the word 'versus' is not a noun.
