Why discrete rhymes the way it does
Discrete sits on the long /iห/, transcribed /e/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 115 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 180, assonance 4,479, and consonance 879. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Discrete works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
