How did the inaccurate and misleading symbols /iː/ and /uː/ get established? They were promoted by the influential Daniel Jones, but he thought of them as long versions of /ɪ/ and /ʊ/! Jones's ideas on vowels are now disregarded, but the bad idea of "short and long i" is still around...

I’d be really grateful if you could complete my two listening surveys with British and American speakers (should take no more than two minutes each). Native and non-native listeners are invited. The results will be discussed in a forthcoming post/video. Please share, and THANK YOU!
