Doctor Congo: “they claim it will be effected by the Earth’s gravity”
Ahithophel: Wonder what the effect will be if it’s affected by E’s gravity
LOL. Guilty.
I have been speaking English as a third language since I was about 10, and I will always be confused between ‘affect’ and ‘effect’. I am a very old man now and I am just never going to remember the difference. Oh well. And I am not going to learn the slang words that the kids use.
Usually “affect” is used as a verb.
“Effect” is usually used as a noun.
But, I do believe they are interchangeable, according to your preference. I use the above as a guideline.
Sorry to interfere.
