I've never known the proper context in which to use affect or effect. I'm only mentioning this, because in the other thread I just created I wasn't sure which to create. I remember asking my teacher this back in Sophomore year, but she didn't know, ironically. Could someone explain to me when to use affect and effect in the proper way?
Also, I'm fully aware of what Google can do. Thanks.
If you're fully aware of it, why didn't you use it?
