Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.
Example:
In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.
affect vs effect.
the usual case for effect is as a noun, and for affect, as a verb.
Just to clarify the exceptions to the general rule:
effect as a verb: to cause or bring about
This policy effects change.
affect as a noun: a display of emotion
She greeted us with warm affect.
Personally I would jsut deprecate the word “affect” entirely. Same with “inflammable” and “cleanse.”
There are three uses for each, intertwined.
Good luck.
“The weather can affect/effect your mood”
Both correct. Both mean the same thing.
imo, for this to mean the same thing “mood” has to change meanings in between.
