Why edition rhymes the way it does
To understand why edition rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษ/, written /ษ/ โ and the ending, which rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 112 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 10,413, and consonance 842. 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. 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 edition tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
