Why proton rhymes the way it does
In our engine, proton registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 199, assonance 7,401, and consonance 81. 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 proton tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
