Why nationwide rhymes the way it does
Nationwide sits on the bright /aษช/, transcribed /i/ in our engine, and lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 147 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 119, assonance 2,931, and consonance 817. 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 nationwide tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
