Are they going to bed together? Getting down and tight and cozy  to bust drug types? Sorry about that, CNN headline writer, but we don’t generally embed with someone or something. We embed something, for example a video if we’re visiting YouTube and want to put it on our own site. Or things get embedded, such as painful slivers in our thumbs when we get too close to roses.

Here is the headline: “US says agents won’t embed with Mexican police”. I read the article, prepared to snicker at yet another bureaucrat trying to sound fancy and ending up sounding silly. I think in this case it’s CNN that’s to blame for an unfortunate headline embedded in an otherwise interesting story.
