I don't know about you, but for years, even right up to today, I thought "sherbert" was an 8 letter word and a homonym of Ernie from Sesame Street saying something reassuring to his roommate...
"Sure, Bert"
Why, even my spell check doesn't force me to go back to "sherbet," as if it's a regional spelling variation for sorbet.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
