Why programmer rhymes the way it does
Programmer is built around the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel (/ษหr/); it's three-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 118, assonance 7,229, and consonance 5. 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 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 programmer tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
