Am gasit acest articol pe care as vrea sa il impart cu cititorii blogului meu:


Affect means to influence or alter something.
Example: If you cast your vote, you can affect the outcome of the election.

An effect is the result or outcome of a cause.
Example: The effects of the drought were visible across the valley.

Remember this: Most of the time, AFFECT spelled with an A is a verb,and EFFECT spelled with an E is a noun.
