Also, I’m sorry, but the Spanish word for “wrench” is “English key”???

@tilton "Llave" in Spanish means both "key" (i.e. what you use to open a lock) or "spanner" (i.e., a wrench).
"Llave inglesa" is in fact an adjustable spanner.

@tilton In Dutch that's what we call an adjustable wrench, or somtimes a 'baco’ (which is also what we call a rum’n'coke.)

@tilton that also count for Italian with "Chiave Inglese".

Do not worry that happens sometimes, always funny though.
