Why aol rhymes the way it does
To understand why aol rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 15 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 80, assonance 6,054, and consonance 896. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for aol tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
