From the Word of the Day that I keep on my whiteboard:
WOTD: affect(process)/effect(state)
The best way to have an effect is to affect someone. (We all need a little affection)
If you verb the ‘e’ word, you are evil. Verbing words is evil.
“Do you wish to effect change?” (this means “bring about an effect“ – correct but evil)
Affecting change means putting it in vinegar so it gets shiny again. (this means ‘alter’)
Shades of Your Grandpa of the BigTale!! That pair was his particular peeve.
There’s something attractive about problems where there is only a right thing and a wrong thing.
Something comforting.
