Welcome to the Forum Kikattail,
Your help is appreciated, your explanations are very well done.

Malibu isn't that bad is it? Have you had a bad experience with it?

Thank you! What a nice welcome! So many sites are really nasty to newbies, eh?
I haven't had a bad experience with it, but I just find it disgusting and way too sweet. I hate the artificial coconut flavour. I just can't stand it for some reason.
Also, cool that you visited my blog! I'm so flattered!

Yay! Thank you! It's nice to hear that a stranger has enjoyed my blog, because I worry that it would be very boring to people who don't know me. After all, it a very personal (sometimes too personal) account of my daily life, and so I imagine parts of it would be extremely tedious to someone who has never met me. So it's good to hear the positive feedback. Wink [;)]

Difference between

I do medical transcription always seem to have trouble with the use of the word effect and affect. Sometimes it is very obvious; but the following sentence i questioned:

"I have enclosed portions of a chapter from Bake's of clinical neurology which i believe you will find of significance in discussing the origins cerebral palsy and its affect on motor function and gait."

Is this correct?

Effect and affect

Sorry, you're wrong, the sentence is correct as is. Motor function and gait are AFFECTED by CP.

All right doctor man:

Either the word effect or affect can be used in this particular case. When the word affect is used, it means to bring out a particular characteristic, a little like personification. The word effect, however, indicates that the outcome correlates directly to an inducer. And in fact, inducer proteins effect gene expression. The word effect fits more snuggly in my opinion, but no one is going to care either which way and probably wont know the difference himself. Only my devilish literature teacher notices this subtle an error. ciao
