What is your problem?

No, it does not take a hyphen. In addition you spelt 'vice' wrong, genius.

There ought to be a comma after the word "addition". And, thanks for sharing that link, I suppose.

You are. And you wrongly hyphenated vice versa and spelt 'vice' as 'vise'. In addition to your plethoa of other abortive traits.

As a trivial little footnote your argument has been directly copy and pasted from the following link : http://www.whitesmoke.com/using-hyphens.

And the part you copy and pasted bore no contextual relation and does not support an argument supporting the use of a hyphen in 'vice versa'.

In fact it directly rallies against it given that the term appears - unhyphenated - in that bit of copied text.

Oh, of course! I spelled the phrase incorrectly! Don't know why I did that. Thanks for spotting that for me. I'm sure I'm going to tell all my friends about the wonderful discovery I've made.

On a more serious note, cheers for that.

I'll spell words how I want, thank you. Whether or not it's worthy of a hyphen is entirely at my discretion. OK, maybe it doesn't comply with the correct grammatical rules of English, but have you ever considered whether I, personally, feel like putting a hyphen in?

Anyway, I thought you didn't like me. Why talk to me, then? Not having a go, but your views are confusing.
