Pronunciation & Spelling
The words 'become', 'income', and 'overcome' rhyme with 'outcome' (all end in /kʌm/). 'Welcome' ends in the same letters but is often pronounced with a schwa (/kəm/) so it does not rhyme exactly. 'Some' shares the 'ome' spelling but begins with /s/ instead of /k/.
Usage priority
