Now. I’m trying to figure out beta — beyond alpha, beta, omega…

In Ft. Worth that might mean “betta burrita”= beta.
Just kidding. Go frogs.
Cheers.

I’m pretty sure that it was phonetics, or same sounding words that helped me in the past to pronounce some foreign words.

Anyway, I was thinking that since these similar sounding words are helpful to people like me that maybe there ought to be a like-minded way of rhyming words in a way that would help you more with what you’re already familiar with.

I think it would be an idea to launch, or announce some kind of ‘rhyme for this weekend’ project.

Of course, it would have to be something that is more focused on one aspect of something or other. I mean, time is precious, and you wouldn’t want to be inundated with everything and anything that could possibly rhyme with words that you are or are not familiar with.
