Common Mispronunciations of Toe
Not TOO
The oe pair gives oh, not oo. An oo lands on the separate words to, too and two, all of which are common enough to cause real confusion.
Not TOH-ee
That e is silent and exists only to stop the word being written as a single letter plus t. One beat covers the whole thing.
Tip: Toe and tow are perfect homophones, so to toe the line and to tow a car sound the same at the start.
