Is Steve a long e word?

No, "Steve" is not a long e word. It's pronounced with a short "e" sound.

Here's why:

* Long e words typically have an "ee" sound like in "see," "tree," or "feet."

* Short e words have a sound like in "bed," "pen," or "get."

Since "Steve" sounds more like "bed," it has a short "e" sound.
