Harris chooses Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as VP pick
www.washingtonpost.com
Walz doesn’t hail from a traditional battleground state, but his credentials as a military veteran and gun owner who previously represented a Republican-leaning rural part of Minnesota in Congress could help Harris.

    There’s also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.

    Loose is when your pants is too wide.

    Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.

      Lucy’s loose legwear lost latitude, leisurely lowering, leaving Lucy’s legs largely liberated. Lamentably, Lucy’s lost leggings landed listlessly, loitering lifelessly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

      Man looking a thesaurus is fun Lol

        Interesting, I didn’t know that. FYI, there’s the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.

        luːz - lose

        luːs - loose

      I think they sound different, loose ends with a curt “s” sound, while lose ends with a longer “z” sound.
