Both words can be used as verbs or nouns.
i've always thought of affect as emotion - his affect was dour.

and i've always thought of effect as basically everything else. cause and effect. he effected a change. the lack of whores effected his libido.

the only time i would use affect as a verb was to describe emotion. the car crash killed his parents, affecting the young boy greatly.

turns out there's way more dimensions to it. i say fuck it. i'm using effect exclusively now.

I would much rather use "affect" (to have an effect upon) than the bastard neologism "impact" everyone seems to use in its place. The rainforest, the economy, his grades all were affected. Impact is a noun that shares a meaning with the verb "impinge" which is intransitive and describes an impact event. The Dinosaur Killer didn't "impact" Yucatán but impinged upon it. I care about grammar; can you tell? cn

The positive effect of weed gives me a happy affect to effect life changing behavior that affects all those around me.

Why is that so hard?

"affect" (to have an effect upon)
i'll try to drive this into my brain. this seems to be the easiest way to remember it for me personally.

and yes, grammar is important. it saves lives.

"let's eat, grandma" vs. "let's eat grandma"

and it keeps you from ordering stalin hookers.



and keeps breakfast edible.



long live the oxford comma.

The oxford comma is bullshit.

I invited the strippers, JFK and Stalin.

I invited the strippers (JFK and Stalin).

That's the same notation used in scripts.

"You (beat) where did you come from?"

Beat means a long pause.
