Although they are pronounced the same, in the American/Canadian spelling vise is for the tool used for gripping and vice is for the sin. The British spelling has the tool spelled as vice like the sin.

Great "V" word shot! Very creative.
What an adorable squirrel.
Such a cute and great shot.
Great shots! And thanks for the explanation of Canadian/American/British spellings and meanings!

Clever usage of the word.
Love your little squirrel too.
Great V word and lovely squirrel!!
v is for...
i love squirrels :)
Oh, how confusing and potentially embarrassing that can be when we are in Canada or UK!
That squirrel looks like it has a firm grip on his food! Quite the vise. Or, is it vice? : )
hmm. If I had to chose between vise and vice, I think I'd prefer the latter. Kate, ABC Team
I have only a few vices, but no vises that I can recall.
OK, more than a few vices...
ROG, ABC Wednesday team
Well no one will get that nut from his vise grip.
Ann
interesting...i didn't know about the British vise.:p
the squirrel looks very hungry!
Welcome to Carver!
Lovely squirrel. You did a wonderful picture.
Regards
Wonderful choice and fantastic photography ~for V
(A Creative Harbor) aka, artmusedog and Carol ^_^
Is that a case of vice versa:-) A cute squirrel. Having a different spelling certainly makes sense and no confusion. I can claim to have both a vise AND vices.
I was never aware of the different American/Enlgish/Canadian spellings. Thank you!
cute squirrel! It's always good to learn about languages - thanks for the info!
Oh my goodness, those horrible Canadian, British, American spellings! I have lived in all three places and am constantly confused! Those squirrel photos are great.
That little guy sure looks to have his pecan nut in a paw vise! Not sure you could pry it away from him.
Your adorable squirrel friend appears to have a Voracious appetite, so I'm glad he found himself some Victuals! :-)
Interesting about Vice Versus Vise. Sometimes I don't believe those of us in English-speaking countires actually do speak the same language!
The close up images of this Victorious squirrel are amazing!!!
Laurie
Voila! A vibrantly vivid depiction of a fascinating "V" word. Very cute critter, too!
So sweet!
In Canada the spelling is vise -
but the squirrels sometimes indulge in vice when they raid the birdfeeders....
Aww, what precious captures of the sweet squirrel.
I love the looks in his eyes!
V is for..
Rose, ABC Wednesday Team
Charming little Squirrel even if he has a vice or two!
Very well done with 'V'. :)
