It's... not Sherbert?

I thought the dessert was genuinely called Sherbert, and every time I saw someone write / type it out as Sherbet I thought it was a spelling mistake.

It's really just Sherbet?

Please rate my personal name lists:

It's spelled Sherbet, it's pronounced Sherbert. And I don't know why, but I've never heard it pronounced without that other r.

I thought thats an incorrect pronounciation. I thought it was supposed to be pronounced to rhyme with rarebit.

Like lingerie being pronounced, "lahn-zher-ay" instead of "lan-zher-ee." And don't get me started on lozenges. :0P

It's technically an un-accepted alternate spelling for Sherbet due to the fact that so many people actually pronounce the word as sheRbeRt.
