   Hi All!   
      
   Answering a question asked of me on another medium - the difference   
   between "affect" and "effect":   
      
   Gage Canadian Dictionary: Most commonly, effect is a noun, meaning   
   "result", and affect is a verb, meaning "to influence": We don't know   
   what effect the new rule will have. The rule will affect everybody.   
   However, in formal English, effect is also used as a verb meaning "get   
   done, bring about": he effected an improvement in the working   
   conditions. Thus, to affect a proposal means to influence it or make a   
   change in it, while to effect a proposal means to get it done or bring   
   it to completion.   
      
      
      
   Cheers... Dallas
