Guest guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Let me try to answer this the best I can. With the fibro brain, it is hard to explain things. LOL. Ok... affect is the Affect it has on you or something else. As is " how this illness affects us " ..... Effect is like the " effects " of a medication or something. As in the side Effects of a medication or something. Well this is probably as clear as mud. LOL. I don't think I am explaining it clearly. Hope someone else can help you with this. It is a little confusing sometimes. Debra V. john honeycutt wrote: I'm not always sure when to use affect. I've been out of school soooo long now that ,well I just don't member??

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi. There's an easier way that works most of the time. As a court reporter, this one is a struggle. What I've found to work is to remember the following: Effect = result, actual achievement of a final result Affect = change, an action that can produce a reaction Remember: Effect as result, e in effect, e in result Affect as change, a in affect, a in change > > Thanks Debi, Now all I have to do is try to understand all of the different definitions. I think my addled brain is more confused that ever and I thought I understood when to use them. > Thanks again for the research, > Marti > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
