Why taxation rhymes the way it does
Taxation sits on the mid /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 765 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 556, assonance 4,765, and consonance 208. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Taxation is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
