That has been brought up to me as well, but is there really a difference in emphasis? Also, a friend ( who thinks she is smarter than me.. and therefore rarely is "wrong" when she disagrees with me) said that they can't rhyme becuase orange has 2 syllables and fringe has only one. I always say that cat and tophat rhyme. She usually says that the laundry is done and has to get off the phone.
As an aside, I have said orange and fringe thousands of times aloud over the last few years, and i'm either deluding myself, or they really rhyme.
