Why vendetta rhymes the way it does
In our engine, vendetta registers as a three-syllable word on the short /æ/ (/æ/) that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 39, assonance 10,698, and consonance 989. 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. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Vendetta pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
