How can you know when someone isn't talking about popcorn kernels, but popcorn colonels. It truly is a serious issue.

I apologize in advance, but that was completely illogical.
Nobody here refers to either kernel or colonel in a confusing context. When referring to 'colonel', it's usually followed after by a name, or used in the context of the military. When using 'kernel', it's usually never used in context of the military. 'A kernel of truth' indicates that something has a bit of truth in it, 'popcorn kernel' or 'pepper kernel' indicates something used for foodstuffs.

Kernel and colonel are rarely used in any context together, and people usually have enough sense to understand it, unless someone is deliberately being confusing by mixing the two words willy nilly, usually by ignoring sentence structure and grammar.
