Here's why:
* Long e sound: The long e sound is typically represented by the letter "e" at the end of a word or by the combination "ee". Examples include "see", "tree", "be".
* Fetch's vowel sound: The vowel sound in "fetch" is a short "e" sound, similar to the "e" in "bed" or "pen".
Therefore, "fetch" is not a long e word.
