How Do You Spell WERT TAKEN CLEANERS?
Pronunciation: [wˈɜːt tˈe͡ɪkən klˈiːnəz] (IPA) 
The spelling of "wert taken cleaners" may seem unusual, but it can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The first word, "wert," is an archaic form of the word "were" and is pronounced /wərt/. "Taken" is pronounced /ˈteɪkən/ and refers to the act of taking something. Finally, "cleaners" is pronounced /ˈkliːnərz/ and refers to a place where clothes are cleaned. So, altogether, "wert taken cleaners" means that the clothes were taken to be cleaned. While the spelling may seem old-fashioned, the pronunciation of each word is still used today.
