Is home a long or short vowel?

To tell the difference between a long "o" and a short "o", notice the form your mouth and lips make in saying certain words. Words like "Oh!" or "Okay!" literally make your mouth become more circular as it says the long "O"-sound. Home creates the same circular muscular effort. Your mouth becomes round, like a circle. Words like "owl" or "how" don't create a round mouth. Instead, the mouth stretches on the sides and the top teeth and top lip come downward as you say the vowel. No matter how much you try, you can't make the same mouth expression when saying a long-O sound versus a short-O sound.

What is the right saying when you came here or when you go here?
