    Default Vice/Vise

    Here is the difference.

    Vice

    –noun 1. an immoral or evil habit or practice.
    2. immoral conduct; depraved or degrading behavior: a life of vice.
    3. sexual immorality, esp. prostitution.
    4. a particular form of depravity.
    5. a fault, defect, or shortcoming: a minor vice in his literary style.
    6. a physical defect, flaw, or infirmity: a constitutional vice.
    7. a bad habit, as in a horse.
    8. (initial capital letter) a character in the English morality plays, a personification of general vice or of a particular vice, serving as the buffoon.


    Vise

    –noun 1. any of various devices, usually having two jaws that may be brought together or separated by means of a screw, lever, or the like, used to hold an object firmly while work is being done on it.
    –verb (used with object) 2. to hold, press, or squeeze with or as with a vise.


    The US does use the two spellings interchangeably.

    Vise is the queens english.
    That is what I grew up with.
