English term or phrase: vise visa

vice versa
Explanation:
I think that's how it should read. "A affects B and vice versa" means "A affects B and B affects A".

"and vice versa" = "and the other way around"

vise visa


Explanation:
This not another suggestion, I do agree with the above explanation that it means vice versa, although it is not a mistranslation, it is actually used (try a Google search).
It seems to be more used in American English, what does an american pro say?
I understand your problem, impossible to find on Internet anyway! But I did find that "vise" is american for vice,
but not very commonly used and then mostly in scientific texts.
I reckon it can be used (if you want to confuse other readers!:))

neutral  John Kinory (X): I just asked 2 widely-read Americans whether this is used, and just got laughed at for may pains. You can find ANYTHING if you search on the Web long enough.

  -> Have you tried the Googles search? It is in complex scientific texts, do u mean they can't spell vice versa??
disagree  Edward L. Crosby III: "Vise visa" sounds like a meaningless corruption of "vice versa" to me. I've never run across it in native English text.
1 hr
  -> Googles ! :)
disagree  Ildiko Santana: Must be a transcript, from a poor-quality recording.. Google is a useful tool, but never a serious reference! Virtually *ANYTHING* can be found on Google -- this doesn't mean everything you see there is correct English (or Greek or Hungarian or whatever).
