How many of you know the difference between effect and affect?
Or do you use impact to cover up things for you?
 
i don't know i think
aren't they the same? i never gave it much thought until now and i would like to know the difference too
 
It's easy Angel.
Without Affect you won't be able to see any effect of it. Affect leads to effect
 
I thought I knew until I took a proofreading quiz and got it wrong..sighss
So then a sentence would be like due to the affect of the situation she was negatively effected?
Is that right @rinko

Yeah I thought it was like that as well until I got it wrong on that proofreading exam..turns out affect can be used other than in that context
