Important notice from the GRAMMAR POLICE. Plz read. This means you.
rufio:
I didn't see any exceptions, unless you are trying to imply that the noun "affect" and the verb "effect" are only relevant to psychology students, which is not the case.
rohina:
That's because you are a certified moron. However, for regular non-moronic people, as I said, in 95% of cases, they will be using affect and effect in the way the mnemonic suggests. Which was my point. So now I have made it 3 times.
Let's have a deadpool on how many times I will need to make it before it makes it past the headpeen and into the teeny tiny little brain that sits behind the headpeen. I am going with 4 more, for a total of 7.
witch:
I think 7 is a trifle optimistic. I'm going for 9, as it is 3x3, 3 being my favourite number. ;D
rufio:
I'm not disagreeing with you, rohina.
Audrey:
I love this thread because I am anal when it comes to spelling, grammar and the correct usage of words. Rohina's acronym is right except in one or two percent of the cases. An example of affect being used as noun would be: 'Darcy used an affect which was quite foreign to his disagreeable nature. The misuse of effect and affect drives me nuts. They are so commonly confused. What are kids taught in school these days?
Do you 'make' or 'take' a decision? If you 'take' a decision, I have to ask where are you taking it to? If you 'make' a decision, it is a process going on in your head. I cringe everytime someone says or writes 'take' as this, to me, is just wrong.
