You mean "affected", as in it "had an effect". Unlike "effected" which, as in the saying "cause and effect", means "caused". Dear God, English is the stupidest

Dear God, English is the stupidest language ever.
- danaris 3y agoExcept that the saying "cause and effect" is using the other (noun) meaning of "effect": it's drawing a line of causality, from a prior occurrence (the cause) to the later occurrence that is a consequence of that cause (the effect). No one uses "cause and effect" like "cease and desist".
