Ah, ladies...I think (since you are both still in the US, I assume) you probably want to use the American spelling, "vise" and not the British "vice."

The latter would, in this country assume that Stilly has vice on her workbench and Eiseley has a good grip in the same thing. There would be, for example, a bit of a difference between a "Vice Squad" and a "Vise Squad." Granted, the latter may be used to put the squeeze on the former, but only in days past or in Chicago.

Canucks use Brit spellings because they are not yet Enlightened.
