so i was looking an answer in yahoo questions and as an answer a girl said she is "synesethic." I am sure this is not spelled correctly but that is how she spelled it. I was wondering if anybody knows what she meant and what "synesethic" means.

I am quite good at spelling and grammar. Sometimes though, when I make a grammatical slip-up I know instantly its wrong. Therein is the problem, and its happened.....too late not to be slightly embarrassed in the company of educated conversation. The me, and I, ''thingie'' is always my stumbling block.

English isn't my native language, so I need a native English speaker to help me solving this question. I just had a short conversation with a friend of mine and I didn't know what to answer his question. Because we had not seen each other for quite a while, he asked where have I been. What can I say if I face the same question next time?

Is there a difference in the way the following words are pronounced singly and spoken as part of a conversation?
I am trying to find out the pronunciation that is most commonly used locally and/or abroad.

Words ending with ~sts
eg There are in the living room.
Should it be something more akin to "guess" (meaning that the t is silient) or "guest-s" (with a "tuh" sound followed by "s" sound and causing a slight pause in between)?

Do you have any references on how names should be pronounced?
eg Is J

You are in a bank. Suddenly a bank robber comes in, he orders everyone down on the ground. He points a pistol to a persons head and says "An'one' try somtin' funne' en I shoot her bweins aut" You are down on the ground and then you decide to get up and face this robber because a sudden idea poped into your head. You get up, everyone is shivering with fear, everyone is looking at you, you look that robber straight into his eyes and say what was on your mind all this time "______________________________
