The words Band and Banned sound exactly the same when I say them.

Does anyone else pronounce them differently?

There = their, according to what I have learned as well as my dictionary. "They're" is different. Which = witch.

Doesn't "to" have a shorter "o" than "two" and "too"?

No. Should all be about 2.75mm+/-0.05 wide if they're off the same printer.

its because the english language derives words from many other languages. Latin, french, german to name a few. 😛
