Scarf and Giraffe don't rhyme

[SliceOfCakeCupOfTea]

Another night ready Julia Donaldson books and another frustrating non-rhymey rhyme.

Scarf and giraffe don't rhyme. Neither do plant and can't.

Anyone else??

I agree.

I don’t see how plant and can’t don’t rhyme?

Both rhyme for me

I suppose scarfff and giraaarrrfff rhyme a bit. As do plarnt and can't - but it's very accent dependent! They don't rhyme for me!

Yes they do

They do if you live down south!

They do if you're southern.

Err, but they do rhyme!

Depends on your accent. Both rhyme in mine

They do rhyme. I won’t hear a word against Julia Donaldson.

They rhyme for me too

While we are discussing it ‘Rhyming Rabbit’ annoys me for reasons I can’t identify. He is annoying and the sheep is needy. On the whole I love JD books.

They rhyme for me!

They do with southern vowels. They don’t in Mancunian.
Southern vowels: scarrr-f and girarrr-f.
Mancunian: scarrr-f and giraffff

Plant is a short 'a' sound like in Ant. Can't is a longer 'aarr' sort of sound.

They both rhyme the way I say them.
Sometime it will be to with accents and way of speaking.
They both rhyme quite easily if you think about the way you pronounce them.

No they don't.

Depends on your accent. Plant and can’t rhyme for me but not scarf and giraffe.
Most of her rhyming rhythm is excellent but sometimes there are accent differences.

None of those things rhyme. The closest rhyme is scarf and can't, but they still don't actually rhyme.

Plant and can't do in quite a lot of accents, and scarf and sound pretty similar too. Not if I was reading them, but for many people they will.

This is light-hearted btw

They rhyme for me. Maybe you’re talking wrong Northern DH has same issue

plant and can’t can both be said with the short ‘a’ sound.

Plant and can’t definitely rhyme in my accent

The definitely don't rhyme. It's like shone and dawn all over again.
