It is "cause and effect", not "cause and affect".
Cause ("an agent or force producing an effect") is a noun and therefore will not beget a verb (affect), it will only beget another noun, like effect ("something brought about by some cause or agency").
The good news is that you've only been using it for two days!

The better news is I use it "Theosophically"=
In God is extremely reasonable and appeals to our common sense. Indeed, one of the most basic laws of our universe is the law of cause and affect. Simply put, for every affect there is a cause; things don't just happen on their own. Seeking to establish these cause - affect
relationships is at the heart of what science is all about. Furthermore, a great deal can be known about the cause of something by studying the affect.
