END-OF-THE-WEEK-RUMINATIONS: "Embed"

       Monday's post featured "embed," "em" being a form of "in," "n"s are sometimes easier to pronounce as "m"s; hence the spelling gets changed due to the mouth and tongue "asking" for it.  Here the "b" sound influences--it's a "two-lip"  sound; "n" is a tip-of-tongue-on-gumridge sound, while "m" is a two-lipper like "b"; "embed" is easier to say than "enbed."

      "Bed" is simple but has lots of uses, as in "flower bed," a post "embedded" in concrete; the reporter was an "EMbed" (changing from verb to noun with accent shifting to front syllable).

       DOES the use of "embedded" for Iraq reporters increase the likelihood or popularity of using "embed" for "tucking" files into a blog?

       Or perhaps I shoulda just stood "embed."
