[Artemisia] Artemisia Digest, Vol 47, Issue 57

How about the use of "vs" versus "vs." ???  I was under the impression that "vs" (no period) was properly used only in the titles of Supreme Court cases, otherwise, the proper abbreviation is "vs." (with period)

   I do find myself "mentally noting" errors in both spoken and written word
  all the time though.   Your vs you're,  our vs are, there vs their vs
  they're, and  cite vs site vs sight --all examples of words that are
  commonly used incorrectly that bother me.  I daresay I've made some sort of
  mistake in this missive.  Perhaps we should call all such mistakes "medieval
  spelling"  and call it period.
