And even if they did, it would be a systemic fault of the written English language.

Lose should not rhyme with choose...

Nor should blues, bruise, chews, coups, throughs, twos, views.

Stupid language, not stupid people.

But the stupid language does help to identify those stupid people who are not adverse to making mistakes.

Particularly under averse conditions.

"Lose" and "loose" have totally different pronunciations.

"Rogers" and "Rodgers" do not.

So not a totally accurate analogy.

I can't believe you missed "Ooze"!

And the River Ouse, for that matter.

Oh, and "Fuse", possibly, but the soft "y" sound before the "oo" may make it less than a perfect rhyme.

Rodgers is probably a mispelt Rogers sometime way back in his family tree.

Interesting that as I read in Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable that the word scapegoat has it's origins as follows:

"The allusion is to a Jewish custom: Two goats being brought to the altar of the tabernacle on the Day of Atonement, the high priest cast lots; one was for the Lord, and the other for Azazel. The goat on which the first lot fell was sacrificed, the other was the scapegoat; and the high priest having, by confession, transferred his own sins and the sins of the people to it, the goat was taken to the wilderness and suffered to escape."

So peraps the scapegoat is, quite literally, an escapegoat.
