	Andyw12345  +  473084 Tue, 05 Feb 08 05:35 PM Hi everybody, Please could somebody explain (in as simple terms as possible) what the difference between effect and affect is and when you would use each. Thanks in advance - this really is a fantastic site. This was originally posted as a separate thread.  I've joined it to the first thread you started on this topic since you apparently still have questions about the very same topic. A second thread isn't necessary.  -- moderator Andyw12345 Difference Between, Effect and Affect

Affect is primarily a verb meaning ‘make a difference to’, as in the changes will affect everyone. Effect is used both as a noun meaning ‘a result’ (e.g. the substance has a pain-killing effect) and as a verb meaning ‘bring about (a result)’, as in she effected a cost-cutting exercise.

	Tanit  +  473107 Tue, 05 Feb 08 06:54 PM Hi, You can find a nice explanation with some examples here, and some more details (for instance, about the way the two words are pronounced) here. Both the pages are from the BBC website. Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 Senior Member 3,030 There is no greater pain than to remember a happy time when one is in misery. (Dante)
