Pronunciation & Spelling
Genuine rhymes with sweetness /ˈswitnəs/: neatness and completeness share the matching /iːtnəs/ ending. Weakness, whiteness, and darkness only share the unstressed -ness /nəs/ suffix and have a different vowel or consonant before it. Business is a spelling lookalike: the -ness is pronounced /nəs/ (or /nɪs/), but the word is /ˈbɪznəs/, with no /iːtnəs/ sound.
