Pronunciation & Spelling
Words ending in -sion are typically pronounced /-ʒən/. Among these, only invasion (/ɪnˈveɪʒən/) shares the same stressed vowel /eɪ/ as persuasion (/pərˈsweɪʒən/), so they truly rhyme. Others like decision (/dɪˈsɪʒən/) and explosion (/ɪkˈsploʊʒən/) have different stressed vowels despite the same ending.
