    Except that TOR is the correct pronunciation, TER is not. The rules of rhyming do not change based on your own misuse of the English language. Ergo you are incorrect. Again. As always.

      Nope... according to you it is the correct pronunciation... people say it differently. Ergo you are ****ing wrong. As ****ing always. Again.

        Gentlemen, this thread has been Fezzed. Boris, you cannot win, despite being correct.

          Fine, I concede defeat. Happy? I no longer care. Post what you wish.

            Actually, I'd have to say that Nayder and Traitor do rhyme - not perfectly, but close enough.

              "If it makes you feel any better, monolith made the same mistake, since trader and traitor aren't rhymes, either."
              Depends on the accent, really. If I'm in a situation in which people pronounce traitor like trayter I'm gonna call traitor and trader a rhyme.

              really, who goes around saying the word "traitohr", honestly! they sound similar enough to work and that's the point. You're being really pedantic about this, BG, which isn't to say that Fez isn't wrong as well…

                When did I ever say that? According to me, it is TOR. Never said it was TER. Now you're hallucinating.


                people say it differently.
                People with bad English mispronounce it. They are at fault.

                Ergo you are ****ing wrong. As ****ing always. Again.

                If they don't rhyme "perfectly" in terms of terminal syllables, they aren't rhymes. That's the rule.

                Otherwise you could say that Moth and Month rhyme, and they certainly do not.

                    I hate perfect rhyming, perfect metering, "perfect form" poetry bastards…
                    Not implying that you are, Gudolove, but I've seen to many good poems that have broken rule after rule and crappy ones that follow the definitions of what they are supposed to be. Interestingly enough, the same goes for detective mysteries as well…

                      make it stop :cries:

                      Btw: "The hell it does!" means "It doesn't" fez...so you really made me laugh on that one.

                      Sprayber - I defended myself. I posted essentially what Che did about my thoughts on Nader, but went into more detail.

                        This had nothing to do with poetry. Just the technical definition of rhyming.

                        I don't think anyone here would assert there should be a strictly technical rhyme scheme in poetry.

                          "The incorruptible Ralph Nader"




                          He's just as bad as Bush and Gore in terms of corruptness. He just represents a different POV.

                          As for splitting off Progressives and Reactionaries and having a Centrist party! It'd be like the PRI in Mexico! The Centrists would be in charge (by a lot) for like 100 years!

                            uh, much less corrupted than Gore and Bush, I'd say, Imran...

                            he's a politician, so of course he is a little...but for a politician i'd say he's damn uncorrupted.

                              Hmm, Imran has a point about the Centrists having control almost all the time. That's a problem. A 1 party system is worse than a 2 party system.

                                I don't know about that. He SEEMS that way because he has no power. But power corrupts. This is why the nominees for the two major parties are so corrupt. Give Nader some power, and he'd be just as bad.
