When you agree with someone is a public setting do you say, "Here, here" or "Hear hear"???
Also, when you want a person to put their all into something do you say "Give them a big 'hardy' hello!" or "give them a big 'hearty' hello"???
What are others you've always been uncertain about?

I believe the correct versions would be hear hear and hearty hello, just as cheese said. But I still don't say either

I agree with you guys but it was called into question earlier today and I really didn't know one way or the other because it seems arguments can be made for both.

and it's "tough ROW to hoe", not "road"
and it's "different FROM", not "different than"
and it's "try TO go", not "try and go" |

heres a similar question... do you say Sherbert or "sore bay" (pheonetically) or are they two different things? I never understood what was going on with that ice cream like stuff.

When i worked at Ben & Jerrys we had to tell people sherbert has diary in it, whereas sorbet doesn't. B&Js sold sorbet.
Further info:
http://www.bartleby.com/68/37/5437.html
The Columbia Guide to Standard American English.
sherbet, sherbert, sorbet (nn.)
Now the name of a frozen dessert, the word sherbet appeared in English in the seventeenth century, meaning “a cold fruit drink,” and developed two spellings reflecting its two pronunciations, sherbet (SHUHR-bit) and sherbert (SHUHR-buhrt). Today both spellings and both pronunciations are regularly encountered in both British and American use, to the discomfort of some purists, who argue that only sherbet is acceptable. Meantime, food fanciers have reborrowed this word in its French form, sorbet, pronounced both in the French way (sor-BAI) and an anglicized (SOR-bet). Standard English now uses all three forms, although Edited English usually clings to sherbet and continues to italicize the French sorbet as foreign. Australian English now uses sherbert, both alone and in compounds, as another name for beer.

Actually, I meant intensive porpoises. That kinda misspelling kinda deflates the joke, huh?
It should really be sherbet not sherbert (sounds like something Ernie would say to his bathtub pal). |

I think you're all nuts, sherbet is completely unrelated. Its white powdery stuff you get in a paper tube. You eat it by dipping a licquorice (sp?) stick in and sucking it.
It so blatantly isn't anything icecream related.

sherbet [SHER-biht]
The origins of sherbet can be traced to a popular Middle Eastern drink (charbet) made of sweetened fruit juice and water. Today the term sherbet commonly refers to a frozen mixture of sweetened fruit juice (or other liquid such as wine) and water. It can also contain milk, egg whites and/or gelatin. Sherbet is lighter than ice cream but richer than ice.
sorbet [sor-BAY] French for "sherbet," which Italians call sorbetto. Sorbet is sometimes distinguished from sherbet by the fact that it never contains milk. It's also often a sofet consistency than sherbet. Savory or lightly sweetened sorbets are often served either as a palate refresher between courses or as a dessert. They're sometimes also called ICES or GRANITAS, though both of these mixtures are generally mroe granular in texture than a sorbet.
There, that answers that think. |

double exactly.
If you went into a restaurant in the UK and asked for sherbet you'd get a very strange look. Ask for sorbet and they'll probably offer you lemon or blackcurrent or something along those lines. Never sherbet.
Where the hell has the Columbia guide got it's information from?
