MRW the explanation confuses shit up even more.
Alyndriel
Ever heard of a synonym? I hear impact is a suitable substitute.
ProcrastinatingWork
verb | noun
TheMostModestMouse
They are in alphabetical order. A before E. Affect causes an Effect.
Thecamelpirate
no it’s Rose and Jack
Solkanarmy
to affect: to effect an effect
OhThrowMeAway
Okay, remind me again tomorrow.
NinjaFishPotter
No
ntzrmtthihu777
Just use the word impact. Works both ways and no confusion :D
VodkaReindeer
Just wait until you get into psychology.
smeeshsmoosh
What if you need to effect a change in your affect?
TracyAllenParks
Affect is the verb. Effect is the noun. Special Effects affects us all.
TheMeanGombeen
Isn't it simply - Affect = verb, effect = noun.
Goodmerlinpeen
I met this post with neutral affect.
Sebutt
The guy in the water looks really pissed. "Steven why the fuck did yOU PUSH ME IN FOR THE THIRD TIME TODAY?"
ChuckChip
"a" for "action"
Cazio
The arrow affected the aardvark; the effect was eye-popping.
Zaodrom
nope
Paasimus
To affect vs. to have an effect.
JiminyFreakingCrickets
Affect starts with "A;" so does "action." Effect starts with "E;" so does "ending"
alwaysbeamazing
I was told affect is the action and effect is a result.
Lambast
You were told wrong.
Maraxus
That is a decent guideline but there are a few special cases. ;-)

its trying to say that *a*ffect is the influence *e*ffect is the outcome

RAVEN: REMEMBER! Affect - verb, effect - noun
ButtblasterMcAssmaster
Both can be either though.
helicotrema
Except when affect is a noun. Example: “He had a flat affect.”

Niche case
manovsteele
Affect is the verb and effect is the noun. The special effects really affected me.
shhep
What? No. Effect is a verb too. "The duty of the legislature is to effect the will of the people." By merriam webster.
Zorbaq
True. Except in cases where effect is a verb and affect is a noun.
LieutenantDansNewLegs
Just use "impact" instead.
Ulfblackfur
I was just thinking about this last night !
GingerFabulous
This diagram only makes sense if you already know the difference. Otherwise it’s trash
damogen
Also, I assume most people are like me. I understand thee difference, but forget which is spelled how
jazzfactory
I feel like it’s trash either way
HelloMax
I just use “impact” and it works 90% of the time.
Schneiderism
Not really? Someone "affects" something else. The result is the "effect" of the action.
GingerFabulous
Affect is normally a verb. Pointing at a person or noun is likely confusing.
AtsaMattaForYou
Irregardless, I could care less. For all intensive purposes, this is a mute point. I don't get this deep-seeded grammar abscession.
Cr0wFeathers
Thanks, now my brain is itchy.

Their are alot of reasons. Case and point, chock it up to pour schooling eccetera if you want to hone in on it.
shhep
As a linguist, that's the way to go. Especially since 90% of cases, people being vocal about this shit have fuckall idea about what they're
shhep
yammering on. Be it gif/gif dispute (BOTH are fucking correct), or this one (effect is a verb too, god kurwa dammit).
TheGammaRae
And affect can be a noun, at least in psychology terms (mental affect). My philosophy: if you're understood you're good.
adamosgrignuoli
Maybe im just dense but im still confused
glitchead
I wasn't confused before and this confused me. A bit of a flawed diagram but I can't think of a better one.
whiskyinajar
The arrow affected the aardvark. The effect was eyepopping.
zenosparadox1101
I remember the difficulty I had differentiating these ideas. Subtle. If you value reading though, it comes.
Angrar
Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun
Dreigiau
... usually. both can be used the other way in certain circumstances, but they rarely are
lDanielHolm
You affect something to get an effect.
OrangeFlavours
That's because this comes from a garbage series of images that don't explain goddamn jack shit and only work if you ALREADY KNOW the words.
OrangeFlavours
I'm sick of these motherfucking images showing up on the front page acting like they mean anything when they're useless.
marthano
A is for action.. That's the only way I remember.
romicra88
An effect has a cause. Said effect can affect you.
DuchessLuscious
*A*ffect = *A*ction / *E*ffect = *E*nd result
ConfederacyOfDunces
Except your face can have an animated affect (expression), while you try to effect (bring about) change.
Cartoones
Well whoever you are, "just dense" or "still confused", hi I'm dad

RAVEN: Remember Affect Verb, Effect Noun
BetterLuckyThanGood
Well I hope you're not the guy in the water if you're dense, we wouldn't want you to sink.
DamascusFire
Affect is cause, effect is result?
Dreigiau
Affect is the act of causing. More specifically, it's 'to change or alter' something already in existence (to affect a planned route, 1/2
Dreigiau
2/3 one has to already exist). Effect (when a noun - how it's usually used) is the end result or, as a verb, 'to bring about or to bring
Dreigiau
3/3 into being' (to effect a planned route is to build one from scratch). There's a noun Affect, but I've seen it used twice ever
shhep
Because it's fucking dumb. Especially since effect is a verb too. You can effect a change that affects you.
eksoskel
Yes! Though, to be fair, the verb use of effect is rarely used. And affect can be a noun too, though it's even less common.
MrSebsquatch
'A'ffect for 'action' or what is 'actively' happening. 'E'ffect for 'end result'. That's how I was taught it.

Charlie sheen is affected by AIDS and effect of that is that escorts refuse to sleep with him.
PudgeTheFish
Is he really? I know he’s a crappy human but it makes me sad to think that anyone has contacted HIV.
HeadlineNews
No, lots of escorts still sleep with him. He’s ok.
PudgeTheFish
And by contacted I mean contracted
CmRock136
Yeah he does but apparently from the treatment he’s gotten, they said he won’t test positive anymore
