发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
No words rhyme with 'foliage' (stressed vowel /əʊ/ + /liɪdʒ/). Words ending in '-age' are usually pronounced /ɪdʒ/ (e.g., college, village) or / -rɪdʒ/ (e.g., carriage, marriage). 'Verbiage' shares the /iɪdʒ/ ending but has a different stressed vowel, so it does not rhyme.
