Answer 1

Ah, the letter O in "telephone" is a long vowel sound, my friend. Just like the sound you make when you say "oh" with a smile on your face. Keep exploring the beautiful world of vowels and sounds, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents.

Answer 2

Words like "one" demonstrate the absurdity of using the terms "long" and "short" to describe English vowels. The vowel in "one" is not an o; it is a schwa, pronounced roughly "uh." Because it ends in a voiced consonant, "one" is a long syllable.
