Why photographer rhymes the way it does
To understand why photographer rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 9 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 7,572, and consonance 29. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Photographer pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
