Hello richoatthedisco, thank you for your English lesson.
Yes, "versing" and "versed" are common slang terms used by young people, especially those who play competitive games and sports. Although your genius-level brain obviously doesn't like and can't handle this misuse of the established English language, they are commonly used terms. Can't remember ever being pulled up for using it before, but thank you for the Latin lesson.
Also, I very well know the difference between "must of" and "must have" thank you. Don't think I've ever used "must of" on here before, but when you're trying to quickly type out a message on a packed and noisy train, mistakes can happen. I wouldn't dare assume you've ever made a simple mistake, such as not being able to read the date of a months-old news article and instead assuming that said article was only recently written.
I suppose when you're a middle-aged coot stuck in a sexless marriage, battling a receding hairline and drifting ever closer to impotence, you need to do something constructive to pass the time. I guess you choose to fixate on those darn Gen Y whippersnappers (who are also responsible for all the world's problems) misusing the English word in a banter thread on a football forum. Keep up the good work!
Good luck for Saturday. Hopefully your boy "better than Daniher" McBean produces a performance good enough to keep him in the team longer than a week this time.
My bet, it took you 4 hours " on the train" to type the above s**t. lol
