Yes, SPECIFICATION is a word. It has two meanings.
(1) A detailed description of features in the design or composition of a machine, building etc. Example - A specification was drawn up for the new military aircraft.
(2) A requirement or piece of information which is clearly stated. Example : The only specification was that the candidates should be unemployed.

Ofcourse it is. Why wouldn't it be?
But the sentence u have given it wrong. 'Specification' is a formal word, like when u appply for a job and u r telling ur previous experience the question might say - specification required. which means u have to mention specifically where u worked.

Specification is a word and that sentence is legitimate.
It can be used by a person who is making a statement about their personality/work ethic in regards to how they use specifications.
An engineer talking about his work might say this sentence or any person who has a technical job involving specifications. In a less technical context, you could would say:
"You know how I am with details".

Yes...that is a correct word, but it is not being used correctly. The specifications of the project are as follows:...
But, conversating is not a word. I think the president made it up and now everyone thinks it's a word. I recently met a woman who claimed she was from "memis" spelled "memfis" and she said she was "conversating" with me. I don't think she should be working with the public.

Yes. It means description, as in "The specifications of this car are top speed 150 kilometres per hour, fuel consumption..."

I have no idea what you mean, but it is a word -- the act or the result of specifying.

"Specification" is a word, but in the sense in which you've used it, it is meaningless.
