The Information Age has been responsible for the creation, evolution and addition of many terms and acronyms to to our vocabulary.  They are mainly in the form of nouns but occasionally a verb spins off. Google would have to be the best example. It was a product, now it is something you do!

Similarly kids when they are playing against other students in Live Mathletics don’t just play or challenge each other – they verse each other. 

Its international too! I’ve heard it in Kiwi schools and read it in class blogs from schools around the world. Its one of those words that has formed naturally – from our Global Digital Natives. Teachers use it as well!

verse – v.t., to take part in a one-on-one contest, especially on a console game. “I’m versing someone at Mathletics.” “Can I verse you next?” Probably a back-formation from “versus”, I reckon this one has staying power, since there’s no really good succinct alternative.
