    Sherbert.... I never knew I was pronouncing that wrong!

    LOL that reminded me of a Friends episode.  Does anyone remember the episode where Chandler can't date a woman if she prounces it "Supposobly".  haha.

    Tons of people say "sherbert."  I don't know why.  I've always wondered how the extra "r" got thrown in there.

    I used to work at Baskin Robbins and it always puzzled me. 

    Hmmm...?

    We should call into A Way With Words on NPR.  I love that show!

    Or sherbet?

     

    hahaha...holy crap...I didn't even notice that there wasn't an "r" in "bet".

    I say sherbert.

    Is it a French word...pronounced "sher-bay"?

    Dictionary.com says it's pronounced "shur-bit" and comes from Ottoman Turkey.  It's also the word for a British drink made of fruit juice.  The word "sherbert" is an Australian word for an alcoholic beverage, especially beer.

    I don't know why Americans call it "sherbert," though.  Easier to say?

    I say sherbert. I thought there was an extra r until like 2 years ago. When you say something for 23 years, you just can't change it lol.

    Funny, you should ask.  I say Sherbert, and honestly had no idea it was spelled sherbet.  I do weight watchers and I was getting so angry because it kept telling me there was no such thing as sherbert.  So I googled it and of course it corrected my spelling.

    I say sherbert, too. I realized a while back (when I started buying my own groceries) that it didn't have that second r. So I tried saying sherbet, but felt like a goof. So, even though it's wrong, I still say sherbert.
