Why recognized rhymes the way it does
Recognized is four-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the mid /ษ/, then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 54, assonance 13,797, and consonance 0. 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 recognized tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
