Why quality rhymes the way it does
Pull quality apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the clipped /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 96, assonance 7,195, and consonance 334. 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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With quality, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
