What's the difference between digester and digestor?
Digester
Definition:
(n.) One who digests.
(n.) A medicine or an article of food that aids digestion, or strengthens digestive power.
(n.) A strong closed vessel, in which bones or other substances may be subjected, usually in water or other liquid, to a temperature above that of boiling, in order to soften them.

Digestor
Definition:
(n.) See Digester.
Example Sentences:
