Is smoky a long vowel sound?

"Smoky" does not have a long vowel sound. It has a short "o" sound, which is a short vowel sound.

Here's why:

* Short vowel sounds are typically pronounced quickly and with a short, sharp sound. In "smoky", the "o" sound is short and quick.

* Long vowel sounds are typically pronounced more slowly and have a longer, drawn-out sound. The "o" in "smoky" does not have this quality.
