Not as bad an embarrassment as using the feminine form of the exclamative adjective «quel» with a masculine noun that quite coincidentally doesn't exist in French and should be spelled with two 'r's if it did exist, just as in English. :)

(There's only «être dans un embarras»--being in a compromising position. (And yes, I had to look that up.) «Un embrassement» is an embrace and if both words existed it would probably always cause confusion.)
