Just a quick post. Got to get ready.
Anyway, for those who can't tell the difference between effect and affect, here's what the Sydney Writers' Centre had to say-
‘Affect’ is a verb and means ‘to influence’. For example:
‘The rain affected Rambo because he couldn’t go for a walk.’‘Effect’ is a noun and essentially means ‘a result’.
‘The rain had no effect on Rambo as he was wearing a coat.’ There are occasions when the two swap roles, and ‘affect’ becomes a noun and ‘effect’ a verb, but they are rare and if you stick to the rules above, you should be right most of the time.
Well there ya go.
And btw, on the quiz, the correct answer was 'All of the above' for those of you who aren't as smart as the rest of us. *Mumbles- Morons...*
