Accipiter v Accipiter

[Rob Geraghty <>]

Just a point of pedantry not related to birding - can anyone tell me when it 
became common to concatenate "versus" to "v" rather than "vs"?  I am guessing 
it's something advertisers began to make headlines narrower, a bit like the new 
habit of leaving out the words "hundred" and "thousand" in advertising to make 
17,990 sound smaller.

This is not a criticism of anyone on the list.  I'm honestly curious if anyone 
noticed when this use of "v" began.

PS Ob-birding: miserable weekend for birding in Canberra. Cold, windy, and the 
birds had very sensibly looked elsewhere for shelter. :(
