    Re: Does 400 rhyme with 200?

    Four-hundred and two-hundred are both two words with the same sounding end, so yes they rhyme.

    I have a feeling this is about 400Fang.

    Coach Owens - is your vote under the basis that 'hundred' and 'hundred' is the same word, or that 'two' and 'four' don't rhyme?

    No they don't. The only reason they sound the same is because they are the same. A word can't rhyme with itself.

    I'm pretty sure that, technically, all words rhyme with themselves.

    That doesn't make sense to me. The use of the word "with" implies that they are two separate words. For example, you wouldn't say "I went to the baseball game with myself," you would say "I went to baseball game myself." A word is singular by nature, and therefore needs another different word to rhyme alongside it.

    Also, this, from wikipedia:

    A rhyme is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words and is most often used in poetry and songs.

    Re: Does 400 rhyme with 200?

    Use of the same word would likely be classified as repetition, not rhyme. That said "two hundred tang" does rhyme with "four hundred fang," as it's the ending of the phrase that matters in rhyming. Free Wins

    Well yeah, tang and fang rhyme. But two-hundred and four-hundred do not.

    eto, are you an English major or something? With all the grammar-***** slapping you seem to do it sure as hell seems like it.

    Nope, not an English major, I just 'get' the English language, and have been helped out by a good amount of reading & writing
