(3,131 posts)Only Im effected dont bother me.
Oh poor me I gave it to my husband. Pray for us.
How about prayers for the completely innocent people you might have affected? Never even crossed her mind.
Btw, I think I used effect and affect correctly, but would appreciate being corrected.

(17,458 posts)EDIT: I always get these two words screwed up myself.
Affect is a verb
Effect is a noun.
To affect something results in a certain effect.
Therefore, I think "affected" should be used in both of your statements.
However, take what I say with a grain of salt...I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I googled and still dont know.
At least its not as basic as its and its so it seems I deserve some slack, just a bit.

(4,965 posts)Most commonly, though, you are correct in that affect is usually a verb and effect is usually a noun.
Effect as a verb would be something effecting of something else.
Affect as a noun is used commonly in psychology kind of like manifestations.

Churches are pestholes, full of people just like her.
