A wrench (or spanner outside of North America) is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying torque to turn objectsâusually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and boltsâor keep them from turning. In Commonwealth English (excluding Canada), spanner is the standard term.
Spice is a mix of herbs (shredded plant material) and manmade chemicals with mind-altering effects. It is often called âsynthetic marijuanaâ or fake weed because some of the chemicals in it are similar to ones in marijuana; but its effects are sometimes very different from marijuana, and frequently much stronger.
The difference between the two is where they are obtained from a plant. Herbs come from the leafy and green part of the plant. Spices are parts of the plant other than the leafy bit such as the root, stem, bulb, bark or seeds. Examples of herbs include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley and mint. They are usually grown in more temperate areas than spices and have great medicinal value and are also used in the preparation of cosmetic products. Spices are usually dried before being used to season foods.
