Why censure rhymes the way it does
To understand why censure rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the r-coloured schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 53, assonance 11,025, and consonance 17. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Censure reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
