Hi All!
Answering a question asked of me on another medium - the difference
between "affect" and "effect":
Gage Canadian Dictionary: Most commonly, effect is a noun, meaning
"result", and affect is a verb, meaning "to influence": We don't know
what effect the new rule will have. The rule will affect everybody.
However, in formal English, effect is also used as a verb meaning "get
done, bring about": he effected an improvement in the working
conditions. Thus, to affect a proposal means to influence it or make a
change in it, while to effect a proposal means to get it done or bring
it to completion.
Cheers... Dallas
