Why gratitude rhymes the way it does
To understand why gratitude rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ a back /uห/, written /u/ โ and the ending, which closes on a hard stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 27, assonance 6,700, and consonance 6. 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 guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With gratitude, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
