It has been clearly demonstrated to you that 'orange' does have words that rhyme with it - several of them. You can read them on this thread. 😉

Yep, the thought did occur. An English Professor made our class aware of this word without a rhyme decades ago. She also informed us that the word "manufacture" [manufactured and manufacturing] is curiously the only word in the English Language which contains the three letters "ufa" in that sequence. Possible exceptions today may include recently coined words, abbreviations or acronyms found on the Urban Slang website.

The vowel sound in "orange" is clearly an "a" sound, not an "i" sound.
No one says "oraaange."

Someone once said to Mark Twain that "sugar" is the only word in the English language in which "s" sounds like "sh" and he replied "Are you sure?"

I wonder if that someone's "best of his knowledge" was, nevertheless, impervious to "better knowledge"? 😉
