Difference between sending a message and emitting it

Difference between sending a message and emitting it

Halfway through the RabbitMQ tutorial, I noticed that the tutorial stops referring to producers "sending" messages and starts using the verb "emit" instead — and pretty consistently, too; after the second tutorial, the verb "send" is no longer used to describe a producer transmitting messages.
Example:
Second Tutorial
The main idea behind Work Queues ... encapsulate a task as a message and send it to the queue. A worker process running in the background ....
Fourth Tutorial
We'll use this model for our logging system. ... Let's focus on emitting logs first.
What is the difference between sending a message vs. emitting one?
