Take it from me. Elections matter.
Take my word for it. Elections matter


Are they synnonymous?

Thanks

You got me this time. No. I was too lazy to look up the correct spelling. Thanks, Yoong Liat. Now I know how it is read. :)

Hi New2grammar

I've told you before. Follow the sounds of the syllables when you spell and you will spell correctly most of the time, 

 SY NO NY MOUS ( LAST SYLLABLE AS IN 'FA MOUS' )

Actually, I did follow.
I pronounced the word as

SYN NO NY MOUS

Now I know how it is read :)

You should say SY    NO   NY   MOUS. (emphasise the first syllable)

Best wishes.

Thank you, Yoong Liat. As you can see, I'm suffering from so many problems :( I'm trying my best to correct as many as possible. I'm learning something new every day. It looks like an endless list. <sob>
