Identical Vowels


I have a question.  My Gregg Shorthand Manual Simiplified, 2nd Edition says that  the A stroke can be long, like in "car".  It also says that the O stroke can be prounounced Aw, like in "call".

Aren't these the same exact sound created by two different strokes?  Reading them is easy, but how do I know which to use when writing?  It has caused me much trepidation.
