It looks like we may be getting a taste of what Clay and the Wicked Edge team have been developing as an optional upgrade to the current platform.

Check out this thread for details!

Hey Steven:

Please start spelling vise with an “s”. Vice implies that there’s something nasty going on here! LOL 😛

Oh, man!… That’s Embarrassing 🙂

And to think I was an English major before I switched my degree to Advertising.

…Sorry guys.

It’s not as bad as it may seem. You were merely using British English.

The definition of vice from the Merriam Webster (US) dictionary is:

[code]”vice noun ˈvīs
: bad or immoral behavior or habits

: a moral flaw or weakness

: a minor bad habit”[/code]

It does not include

However, the definition of vice from the Cambridge dictionary (UK) includes:

[code]”mainly UK (US usually vise) a tool with two parts that can be moved together
by tightening a screw so that an object can be held firmly between them while it is being
worked on:”[/code]

I checked on Dictionary.com. Under VISE, they have the definition as:

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.

Looks like one or the other is peeking across the pond.

I don’t suppose it would be fruitful to suggest to the guys at Cambridge that there’s an easy fix for the confusion.

I can’t sleep. Maybe it’s because I’m anticipating Clay’s video showing off the new viSe 🙂 prototype… Just maybe.
