From an exhausted and humiliated veteran of the failed struggle against the verbification of "impact", you have my respect and sympathy.

- gmane 3y agoI think that one is a direct result of people being pedants about the difference between effect and affect which made a lot of people try to avoid them completely.
- sneak 3y agoMy favorite is that affect and effect are also sometimes a noun and verb, respectively. Knowing how to use all 4 (affect noun, affect verb, effect noun, effect verb) correctly feels like a superpower.
