Why excellency rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for excellency starts at the vowel โ the short /ษช/, IPA /ษช/ โ and ends where the line ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 99, assonance 12,388, and consonance 203. 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. 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. Excellency works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
