Why uncommon rhymes the way it does
In our engine, uncommon registers as a three-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 2 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 108, assonance 6,542, and consonance 104. 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 uncommon tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
