Yes I was using those 2 words as example because that was the first 2 words I could think about.

I was wondering if there was some other difference like intonation. Now that I know the only difference is the length of the sound I will have to pay more attention when I read it. I bet when we students come to Japan, we confuse you a lot with the way we mix those words up hee hee.

Thank you for the answer.
