Ice pellets are also known as graupel, or soft hail. In the world outside the US, sleet is rain and snow mixed, not ice pellets. As a matter of interest, the international weather code for hail is GR (from graupel), although the actual phenomenon (graupel) has the code GS. Graupel is in effect rime ice formed on snowflakes.
In the US, raindrops that freeze into pellets of any size while enroute to the ground are designated sleet.
