The word “sorrel” can mean a few different things depending on context: 1. Botany (plant): Sorrel is a leafy green herb from the Rumex genus, known for its tart, lemony flavor due to oxalic acid. It’s used in soups, salads, and sauces — common in European, Caribbean, and African cuisines. 2. Culinary drink: In the Caribbean, sorrel usually refers to a spiced, ruby-red drink made from dried hibiscus petals (Hibiscus sabdariffa), ginger, cloves, and sugar — especially popular during Christmas. 3. Color: “Sorrel” can describe a reddish-brown or coppery color, often used to describe horse coats (e.g., a sorrel horse). Hobie Hartkins and RogerDuke 1 1 Quote

Sorry to be pedantic, but I was correcting your spelling, not your grammar! BTW. You're not alone. If you watch the end credits of "The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!" the TV movie, the first screen is headed "In Loving Memory" and also misspells Sorrell as Sorrel. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote

HossC Posted November 14 Posted November 14 17 hours ago, Hobie Hartkins said: Actually, I think spelling is part of grammar... From omproofreading.com: Quote Grammar and spelling are both elements of writing. However, these two terms represent different concepts that merit their own discussion. Grammar deals with how words change form and come together to make meaningful sentences. Spelling refers to how letters come together to form words. Both grammar and spelling are needed for clear written communication, but they’re not the same. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
