Why email rhymes the way it does
To understand why email rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel — the gliding /eɪ/, written /eɪ/ — and the ending, which spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 60 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 218, assonance 5,109, and consonance 825. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Email pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
