Illiteracy

Vice: a bad habit, a moral blemish, depravity (or second-in-charge - as in vice president).

Vise: a clamping device.

So, what do the manufacturers expect people will do on this table?


I guess proofreaders are no longer considered a necessity. It's even more amusing when you see the little flag and "Made in USA." You could expect this sort of error from people speaking English as a second language. Nice to know we our illiterates are homegrown, let's keep those jobs at home.

Unfortunately, people in the USA cannot spell, either.

My mind was roaming around, thinking what vice could use a nice table. I found one, but I do believe the kitchen table is used for that vice.

.....or the dining room table/study desk/sewing table....bet that workbench isn't a best seller.
