Both words are needlessly complicate in there usage, but that’s the English language for you.

I hope my post helps. Effect and affect are complicated words that a lot of people have problems with.

Physical—Effect

I have warred with this for years and when I’m reading the meanings, I understand, but when I’m writing it, I always have to revert back to what I read. But this does help. Nice to know I’m not alone with this struggle. LOL

Love and blessings
Rita

I’m glad you looked them up. and I can well understand why you were initially confused. Effect and Affect for two little words can be very complicated in their usage.

But then again the entire English language is very complex. Its no wonder people just learning the language get so frustrated. They should try being writers, lol.

Oh, I know exactly what you mean and its worse when you get tired. But as you learn the meaning behind the words that you use, they can fall in place a little easier.

Thank you very much. I hoped I could explain these complicated words in simple language.

I just checked three dictionaries (Oxford, dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster) and although use of ‘affect’ as noun and ‘effect’ as verb is uncommon, it does occur. Still sounds funny to me :) Sorry! and thanks for the lesson–Meredith
