Euphony in a sentence as a noun

Seanmcdirmid, I wrote an entire section on the rhythm and euphony of sentences, another topic rarely found in grammar books.

"More than one person is" is correct not because of any systematic reason, but because of euphony - it is more pleasing to the ear than "more than one person are".

Anything but "glot" as it is pronounced in any of my dialects, would give more euphony.------------------------------------------------------> but do you think people learn languages best from RosettaStone type products?\nNo!!!!

The euphony and cadence of sentences, the unlikely word pairings, the stark impenetrability of it—it gives it the pleasure you'd get from an abstract painting.

However, I used the "to make a small group of people money" bit as a piece of euphony, paralleling the original sentence construction of the poster to whom I was replying.
