Why pointless rhymes the way it does
Pointless is built around the short /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 34, assonance 3,056, and consonance 3. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Pointless is a word that benefits from the second pass.
