Does chop have a short or long vowel sound?

The vowel sound in "chop" is short.

Here's why:

* Short vowel sounds are typically quick and sharp.

* Long vowel sounds are typically drawn out and have a more open mouth position.

The "o" in "chop" is pronounced like the "o" in "hot" or "stop." This is a short vowel sound.
