Re: Ensuring the effect is not affected
There's no need for the expression "effect change". It works okay
verbally but, on the page, nobody (but nobody) doesn't have to stop and
chew on it for a second.
With all due respect, that's horsefeathers.
I doubt that people who *don't* know the difference between "effect" and
"affect" give it a moment's thought; they just derive the intention from
the context.
People who *do* know the difference only have to "stop and chew" when we
trip over the misuses of those who don't.
