I grew up calling it what my parents did, “sherbert,” but it was clearly spelled “sherbet.”
I also didn’t understand why my mom said “warsh” for “wash,” but I don’t recall pronouncing that wrong.

I always thought that ‘sorbet’ was more icy and less creamy, and used as a ‘palate cleanser’ in a formal dinner.

Language tends to migrate towards lazy pronunciation followed by spelling changes to accommodate the lazier pronunciation.
I think it was originally “sherbet” which has partially migrated to “sherbert”.

Sherbet. The “r” is implied.
Normal people also say Fudgicle, not Fudge-sicle, regardless of what the company maintains.

I thought that crap was extinct.
The correct pronunciation is “WTF is this sh1t, go get me some ice cream”.

-Instacart data shows that 63% of users searched for “sherbet” while 37% used the alternate spelling “sherbert.”
Just to cause trouble, I pronounce it “sherbert”, but spell it “sherbet”.

My whole pronunciation world has been collapsing for years now. I find that the way I had always pronounced things has a different side.
I always pronounced it ‘sherbert’. During the reading of this thread I went and found some old containers I keep on hand, and My Goodness! It says ‘sherbet’! I am shocked.
Reminds me of recently discovering that pimento cheese, is actually ‘pimiento cheese’. I am shattered! lol

I've always known it as "sherbert".
This "sherbet" thing is just another commie day-zero construct to rewrite history.
This is where it starts. Next, they'll be subtly changing phrases in the Constitution.
