I wonder how much it'll affect the initial storylines next season. :uhh:

I'm so glad that people on this board know the difference between affect and effect. :love:

affect and effect ... when people get that wrong I want to get out my red pen and correct it! (I was a uni TA a few years ago... loved my red pen :love:

)

AND... the other day someone at work with a high-paying job and a Masters degree typed this:

"As for the question of how much we should divulge... I would be comfortable if you explain are process to them"

are instead of our?!?! :evil:

I flatter myself that I am ok at grammar, but I still don't know the difference between affect and effect...

Affect = verb, effect = noun. :nod:

Effect can also be a verb. When used that way it means to give rise to something, to give birth to something, etc. Like you can say "the law will effect changes" meaning the law will cause changes to happen. I suck at giving definitions but yes, it does work that way too.

Shoot, then I still don't know the difference.

The news mistakenly uses "elude" instead of "evade" all the time and it drives me up the wall.

ooh i hate grammatical errors

some girl for her journalism report, she wrote "seniors addition"
what she meant was "seniors edition"

and she couldn't spell "huge". my girlfriend spelled it out for her and she said "no, that's hug"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

yes, they did let her graduate. i can't believe it either.

Affect can also be an expression. Like a facial expression, or somesuch.

Also, the easiest way I've found to remember the most common usages is as follows:

Affect = Action
Effect = End result
