OK, I was talking to Roxy about rhyming, and she tells me that “purple” does not rhyme with “people”. They sound similar enough for all intents and purposes. Just why are they not considered rhyming words?

Teaching English to Preschoolers with iPhones
We (i.e. the creators of Pain in The English) developed a series of iPhone apps to teach preschool kids how to recognize letters and words. (My wife developed the characters and I did the coding.) Our own 4-year old daughter has been enjoying them. They are now available on Apple's App Store. You can search for "bitskis" on your iPhone, or visit the official website at bitskis.com.
If you have kids and own an iPhone, please check it out. It's $2.
Surely it depends on the accent. For me with a Scottish accent, manly does not rhyme with family. (we pronounce the 'i').
In order to do due (rhyming, hah!) diligence to "rhyming" one must be completely blotto! That's why the Irish are so good at it. Limericks and all …

What rhymes with honor?
quoted from Lilcholo101's opus above:
"Swans are the only birds with penises."
sexually reproducing vertebrates ftw?
Acually, swans are NOT the only birds that have penises. Many bird species do not have penises, but quite a few do have them. Ducks do. So do geese, chickens, turkeys, ostriches, tinamous (kiwis, emus, rheas, etc.) cassowaries, curassows, etc.
purple rhymes with llama
The incredibly long post by lilcholo101 included the following as his second tidbit of information: "The dollar symbol ($) is a U combined with an S (U.S.)."
Actually, this is wrong. The origin of the U.S. dollar sign is from the old Spanish "thaler" (the origin of the word "dollar") which had the coat of arms of the Spanish royal family which is supported by the two pillars of hercules (from the Straights of Gibraltar). Those two pillars were intertwined with a ribbon, or banner, bearing the motto "Ne Plus Ultra," which had been the ancient warning to mariners to go no further as there was "nothing further." However, after the discovery of the New World, this motto was later changed to "Plus Ultra."
The symbol of the two pillars intertwined with a ribbon became the shorthand sign for the Spanish thaler. Common usage allowed the ribbon of the symbol to become the predominant "S" shape, while the two pillars became less prominent to the point that now most people only put one slash through the "S."
