Every good grammar student knows that.
One of my favorite songs of all time is based on alliteration. Your argument is invalid.

Alliteration alleviates aggravation and arguments.

Consonance on the contrary, confuses, confounds and constipates contributors to this contentious, contumacious, conning tower'd band of Brigands; oft leading to contemptible confinement in the Brig by the modded moderating constabulary...where those cons, thus convicted hiss onomatopoetically!

I read a copy of the 2001 Seamus Heaney translation of Beowulf, and he said the original was alliterative, and did the same himself, at least two words and sometimes more in each line starting with the same letter. It's by far my favorite translation.

They are not getting either.

If I am at home when they come, they get the chance to get out of their car but that is as far as they get. I run them off.

My neighbour down the road asks them what their stand is on gay people. After they respond, usually negatively he tells them that his brother is gay. Off they go.
