This is another set of words I commonly confuse. Turns out, they are not only pronounced alike but they are, more or less, antonyms.
Emerge [ih-murj] (verb):
1. to come forth into view or notice.
2. to rise, as from difficulty.
3. to come into existence.
Example:
Little bubbles emerged on the surface of the water. “Someone’s down there,” he yelled, “and he’s breathing.”
Immerge [ih-murj] (verb):
1. to plunge, as into fluid.
2. to disappear by entering into a medium, as the moon into the shadow of the sun.
(Think Immerse)
Example:
Having arrived at a dead end, Sergey caught his breath and immerged himself under the surface of the pond.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s difficult to get that
“perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome.

I have always been confused on inductive and deductive thinking…what is your wisdom on this?
thank you again! 🙂
No problem. Induce is to make someone do something, or think in a certain way, while deduce is when you form an idea based on clues and information.
Hey, now it makes sense!
thank you so much! 🙂
