Description

I just heard this sentence in a YouTube video:
> Today it's all-wheel drive Civic verse twin turbo Lamborghini.

Harper fails to flag "verse" to be changed "to versus".

Research direction

Start by locating the VerseAsVerb rule and reproduce the reported sentence: “Today it's all-wheel drive Civic verse twin turbo Lamborghini.” Check why this use of “verse” is missed; done means the sentence flags “verse” for replacement with “versus” without regressing existing cases.
