About words in the middle O
The position of the 'O' in the heart of a word is no accident; it plays a crucial role in shaping the word's sound and meaning. In many instances, this strategic placement of the 'O' influences the way a word rolls off the tongue, lending it a certain musicality. For example, consider the word "robot."

The 'O' stands as a midpoint, just like the horizon itself, which stretches across the sky, bridging earth and heaven.
