The repetition of the same sounds or of the same kinds of sounds at the beginning of words or in stressed syllables, as in “on scrolls of silver snowy sentences” (Hart Crane) Modern alliteration is predominantly consonantal; certain literary traditions, such as Old English verse, also alliterate using vowel sounds. http://www.ask.com/reference/dictionary/ahdict/54032/alliteration

Answer 2

As an average American and anglophone, I agree that alliteration often alienates others altogether. Although advocating the abolition of alliteration is extreme, almost every one affirms, absolutely, that any one employing alliteration is annoying.

Answer 3

i enjoy engrossing in alliterated conversations.

Answer 4

And an out-of-this world asks.
