thank you

now tell me more about affect vs effect

Just remember, A before E except after C and you should be fine

tell me why always want to spell together like this --- togather

Affect --> even though a lobbyist donated massive amounts of money to your political campaign it had no affect on you

effect --> you farting all the time effects your co-workers

anyway...

Affect is a verb
"It will affect him"

Effect is a conjunction
"That was the effect on him"
