Today at the age of 52 I learned that Americans spell "vice" differently.

  Have you never experienced the engineering marvel that is Vise-Grips?

    No, we still use Mole wrenches over here!

      What, not a mole spanner?

        Interestingly, no! For example see: https://blog.jfallen.org/2016/12/26/newport-home-of-the-mole-wrench/ https://blog.jfallen.org/2016/12/26/newport-home-of-the-mole...

  Americans also have a vice with a c but that refers to drugs, gambling, and similar acts (i.e. vice cops are the cops on anti-narcotics assignments, like in the old show Miami Vice) or in stuff like Vice President (Kamala Harris).
