...Thanks for clarifying those different uses too. <br /><br />In trying to keep it simple I have focused on what I come across the most in the fiction I edit, so have not gone in depth on other possible meanings. I have also gone with the most common usages. But thanks for this, it's much appreciated. <br />Miranda Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166000575283710451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320131690292314651.post-43310301621164396982016-01-15T03:05:41.365+01:002016-01-15T03:05:41.365+01:00I still mangle affect/effect sometimes, but mostly...I still mangle affect/effect sometimes, but mostly because they aren't simply one-a-noun, one-a-verb. Affect also has a totally different meaning that is a noun (a person with a flat affect), and effect can be a verb that means "to bring about," as in "to effect a change." You can effect a solution (make it happen) or affect a solution (have a role in it, change it).<br /><br />So I get tangled when I want their more common meanings, too. <br /><br />Great post! I'm going to go read the next one now.

I try to remember one rhymes with shoes, but then I muck up which one does and end up spending an hour google searching grammar sites. From here on out, I'll just come to this lovely site. =) Angela Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405824955821316661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7320131690292314651.post-62816824467618154422016-01-13T14:47:14.982+01:002016-01-13T14:47:14.982+01:00I like it.
