also keep the new music rolling, I'm sick of the same jazz track. Also I LOVE, freaking ADORE this new format that you got going on. like the top of Everest vs what you had before that was in the core lava. Okay, enough messing around. the only REAL vowel length that exists and DOES affect the meaning is when Americans drop R in R colored vowels. you're not gonna mistaken paw and pour or hot and heart (im using unmerged as an example). The only reason these are different is because you hold onto the R colored vowel a bit longer especially without the R, so that way you can still comprehend the word, american english perosn says without the R. but to make it simple, vowel length is a ghost. short O, long O, short E, long E. These are the concepts for native English speakers that are KIDS. it's just a way to teach them to spell/pronounce things right and has no REAL value to an English learner and an often misleading concept brought up by unexperienced teachers. Basically, short/long is only a way to teach a kid how to SAY a word. it's so useless outside of teaching how to say a word, not to mention if you're not a native speaker/have already acquired the accent/basic feel/understanding for the language. it's just an old concept parents and elementary school teachers use to teach kids to spell words because they often don't understand that they needa say it a certain way so it helps them relate their sounds to a symbol it's represented with. I'm getting tired of listing each thing. Whoever reading this out of curiosity, accept the reality English Hacks is telling you.
hey man i don't wanna sound rude but may i ask what type of regional accent you have? because you enunciate your -ings (IHng) as -EEng. i mean i usually hear the first one (IHng) which is more relaxed but i also heard a lot times native speakers use the more stressed version(-EEng). so yeah this is just interesting to me.
Actually I tend to pronounce EEN, unless the ing is a core part of the word (ring), which I do say as EENG, but the EE vs IH doesn't matter at all in either case. I have a Western American accent, which is one of the various neutral accents under the umbrella of General American. I wouldn't label it "regional". At least in the way I tend to use the term, regional means non-neutral or non-standard, like the accents in the South.
I don't care you may disagree. 😄This vid is the best explanation of vowel's length. Cheers.

Generally agreed
ROFL, give this guy an Oscar
In a nutshell the length of a vowel depends on the stress. Thank you a lot you cleared some doubts I had ❤️
Ah ha! I called it! Yes!
In kid and kit happens automatically
