Why incorrect rhymes the way it does
Incorrect is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the centred /ษ/, then it lands on a closed syllable. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 54 matches, family rhymes 3, additive and subtractive together 145, assonance 11,603, and consonance 243. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Incorrect is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
