Reasons why this is crap:
Affect can also be a noun, and… wait for it… effect can also be a verb.
The definition of affect as a noun: ‘a display of emotion.’ Example: “Language isn’t important to you, therefore you show no affect when you read about grammar.”
The definition of effect as a verb: 'to cause something to happen’… which sounds an awful lot like the definition of affect as a verb. The difference is that effect is more final (like 'accomplish’ ). Example: My grammar posts might affect your opinion of the English language, but I will continue to effect change in your grammar usage every Thursday (which will hopefully affect your credibility).
