Is that how you spell it? haha, wel anyways...

OK. Well, I want to know the differences between the person suffixes... like, I really don't know the differences or when to use them...

I know:

-さん
-ちゃん
-くん
-先生

and that's really all I know... How are each used, and what are some other ones I should be aware of and how are they used?

Much appriciated!
