Pronunciation

Wire ties!

Every time I tried to say WIRE TIES it came out WIRE TIRES. So, I’ve decided to make a sentence out of these similar sounds to form a tongue twister.

  • Willie wires wire ties to all his tires. – It doesn’t make much sense, but it’s a doozy to say!
  • Why are wire ties tied to all the tires?
