Would you consider doing a similar post on effect vs. affect? <BR/><BR/>My gut instinct says that effect should mean to cause to happen (ie., cause and effect), while affect is something similar to an affectation. I would also guess that the source of the confusion is sloppy pronunciation of the e in effect. However, I haven't researched any of this, and I'd love to read your take on effect vs. affect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381587324749750595noreply@blogger.com
