~guys here are another batch for those differences:

What is the difference between sherbet and sherbert – and also sorbet?

The original Turkish and Persian word was sherbert or serbet, which has led to the variant spellings. Sherbert is a spelling and pronunciation found in both American and British use. It descended from Arabic sharbah ‘drink’ and shariba ‘to drink’. It was first a cold drink made with fruit juice, water, and sweetener and often cooled with snow. The meaning was transferred to fruit-flavored ices in the late 19th century and now more specifically refers to an ice made with milk, egg white, or gelatin. In Britain, the word mainly refers to the beverage. In Australia, sherbet is used as another name for beer. Sherbet is distinguished slightly from sorbet, the French term for a fruit-flavored ice served mainly between courses of a meal as a palate cleanser. Sorbet is derived from the same Turkish and Persian words as sherbet.

What is the difference between might and may?

May expresses likelihood while might expresses a stronger sense of doubt or a contrary-to-fact hypothetical. The difference in degree between “You may be right” and “You might be right” is slight but not insignificant: if I say you may be right about something, there is a higher degree of probability that you are right about it than if I say you might be right about something. Example: You think Einstein is the most brilliant physicist who ever lived? You may be right. / You think it’s going to rain this afternoon even though the sun is shining this morning? Well, you might be right. May expresses likelihood while might expresses a stronger sense of doubt or a contrary-to-fact hypothetical: We might have been able to go if Keir had not been so slow to get ready.

Difference between nude and naked

It must be noted that there is a tremendous difference between being naked and being nude. Naked is a word that can be used when describing an individual without clothing, such as the naked man entered the spa. The word constitutes a specific individual and is on a much more personal level. Yet the word nude tends to be reserved much more for an ideal of the human body without coverage. The ideal masculinity or femininity, which oftentimes is portrayed in art. Naked can be more scrutinizing and offensive, where nude, as more of a concept, is usually not so.
