Actually, the word &quot;sporange&quot; rhymes with &quot;orange&quot;. To be fair though, &quot;sporange&quot; is a term restricted to biology and is short for &quot;sporangeum&quot; (depending upon the pronunciation, the shortened form cuts 2-3 sylables off of the base word). I remember reading in a grammar column somewhere. I suppose it's not quite fair to use a specialized biological abbreviation as a rhyming word, but the fact remains that it does exist. Also, about those &quot;True facts&quot;, are those as opposed to all the false facts floating around out there?

Oh, and if I am not mistaken the longest word in English is &quot;Antidisestablishmentarianism&quot;.
