Pronunciation & Spelling
The final stressed part of wholesaler is -saler /seɪlɚ/. Sailor, tailor, and retailer share this exact /eɪlɚ/ ending, so they rhyme. Watch out: seller looks similar but has a short vowel /ˈselɚ/ and does not rhyme. Sale and wholesale show the base spelling and keep the /seɪl/ sound.
