Why simplify rhymes the way it does
Simplify sits on the clipped /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 18, assonance 12,382, 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. 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 simplify, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
