Long and short, tense and relax vowel sounds
Hi guys. It strikrs me as strange that we use terms long ee and short e for completly different sounds. Long ee is not short e but longer, right? Maybe it would be better to call ee the tense ee and the e the lax e? As far as the vowel length is concerned, the consonant after a vowel decides. The aspirated t in bat makes "short" a shorter then the vibrated d in bad. What's your take?
