There is no such word as KERNAL folks. Its KERNEL, with an "e."

And, just like the definition in Webster's (a central or essential
part), a kernel is the core of the operating system.

A kernel is also a seed (popcorn) which happens to be the "core" or
"central" part of the fruit (I know, popcorn's not a fruit).

What really bugs me is seeing magazine editors misspell it!
