Chris Nicholson's Writing Weblog

While watching television today I saw the relatively new commercial for M&M candies. In the ad, actress and vocalist Megan Mullally signs about the various colors of M&M's. One line mentions that there's no word that rhymes with "orange."
As a writer and editor (and former fact-checker), I'm going to be picky (and punchy) and point out that the sung statement is untrue.
The word "orange" does have a rhyme: "sporange." It's a biological term. You can look it up. (But I'm not sure where.)
