Now I'm wondering if that's a normal feature of SAE, or a personal oddity. (I.e., is that my idiolect, or my dialect?) Probably gonna be subtly listening extra-hard to everyone I talk to for the next few days. Maybe asking them if it's too hot, or how their fathers are.😉

I don't know why phonologists have decided to call it the rime instead of the rhyme, but the study of syllable structure is going to need to acquire a great many more mariners and albatrosses before I can get condone these types of jargony shenanigans.
(Next up: plotting negative UP in ERP graphs. Jeepers, what a load of baloney.)

come /kʌm/, but comet /kɔmɪt/
cove /kov/, but covet /kʌⱱɪt/
Not a hugely exciting observation, by any means, but it amused me enough to post this!
