"Affect" and "effect" are commonly used incorrectly, my good FRiend; and I do appreciate your interest in good grammar and usage.
That said, however, and from Grammarly.com...
Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change.

Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change. Yep, it's a toughie, but here is an example of correct usage:
Donald Trump was elected to effect change.
In this case, the word 'effect', means 'to produce or to cause'.
