I don’t disagree that they’re different terms, but I personally know a bunch of people who buy sorbet and call it sherbert, and basically use the terms interchangeably

In the US, I’ve heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it’s freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”) if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that’s event pricing for ya)
Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I’m pretty sure that’s a brand name we use as a generic term.

Past a point, your instructor/professor only has so much time to read through everyone’s papers, and it’s easy to waffle. If there’s no limit and a student turns in a 500 page write-up when the expectation was 50, that student’s paper will take a lot more time to process through. Enough students do that, and what was supposed to take one week to grade now takes considerably longer, which is a big problem when there’s extra curriculum to go over.
Sometimes things only appear impossible when we don’t think in more complex terms

Days of the week in Spanish follow almost the exact same pattern as they do in English, with the exception of the weekend.
Specifically, Friday in Japanese translates to Gold Day, which also has a lot of cultural connotations with it being the lucky day of the week

I believe the wording is “drinks which burn the throat” which naturally means:
- ❌ Coffee
- ❌ Alcoholic drinks
- ❌ Coca Cola
- ❌ Hot tea
- ❌ Chai lattes
- ✅ Sprite, other non-caffeinated soft drinks
- ✅ Hot Chocolate
- ✅ Kombucha
- ✅ Energy drinks???
- ✅ Herbal Tea (even while hot, but mostly if you’re sick as a home remedy)
Most of the focus is interpreted as “contains caffeine and/or alcohol” but the wording is vague enough that it leaves for a lot of weird wiggle room people try to argue (based on convenience usually). It’s quite silly
