Sherbet and Sorbet are different. At least in the U.S. Sherbet contains milk, Sorbet does not.
How do I know? I grew up only eating sorbet, and was not allowed sherbet, as I have a milk allergy.

Yeah, I think in the U.S., Sherbet is somewhere between ice cream and sorbet.According to Wikipedia:Sherbet, an American term for a frozen dessert like sorbet, but containing a small amount of milk fat.
