Ignoring the content of the article for a second - how exactly was the author pronouncing that title in their head? Leeks creeks breeks? Lakes crakes brakes?

  Leeks, Creaks, Breaks -- they're not all meant to rhyme. The last element is pronounced differently. I don't know what the term for it would be, but it's reminding me of 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles'. Rhyme, Rhyme, Schema Deviation.

    Adding to the confusion is that the "ee" is pronounced the same as the first "ea" which in turn is pronounced differently than the second "ea".

      There is no "ee" in leaks...
