Vice: immoral or wicked behaviour. (source wordreference.com)
Could "in a vice way" mean "in an odd way"?
Just thinking aloud.

I know what 'vice' means, but it doesn't fit here. I don't think 'odd' fits either. Unfortunately Ganesh has started two separate threads about this, so there are now two discussions. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Ganesh posted the same sentence here. I thought he was possibly thinking of the word 'wise' rather than 'vice'...

You need to look at the other discussion about this phrase to see the correct version. Esl_Expert has posted a link to it in message #6 above. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

Hi Ganesh,
I don't understand 'the wall of the back year' at all, sorry. Do you mean 'the wall of the back yard?' I am assuming that you do:
To the Strata Manager.
Hello,
The back-yard wall is continuously wet due to leakage from a pipe line. This is leading to a weakening of the wall due to water damage. In addition, the wasted water has an impact on both our water bill and the environment. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
