wait, i cant be slanderous or abusive

Very basic rule: effect is a noun and affect is usually a verb.

Usually? USUALLY!?

A person can have an affect (pretty sure it has to do with emotions/feelings).

Sure.

This thread is meow. I likes both of cgosts and beer'o'meow. Dont fight, dawgs.

I like 'em both, too.

I gotta stop drinking.

If only the damn pain in this tooth would stop..

Got any insurance? My mom made me go to the dentist when mine was bothering me... ugh... I didn't really want to go. But yeah... It's a relief.

But you're moving so you might not want to pay for it... yeah. That sucks.

No dental insurance. Cost is worth it though instead of drinkin beyond belief and sleeping in to 1pm everyday to avoid it.
The move will be cheap anyway, I don't have a lot of stuff and it's a 20 mile move.

Well that's unfortunate. Do you think you're going to try to get that done?

Yeah, it's just a matter of how quick I can get it done.

My teeth are whiter than average and visually look good and I brush definiately but between candy and years of not going to a dentist and fillings falling out has taken a toll.

All wisdoms were yanked 5 years ago ($1400 that mom thankfully paid) but besides that, not much dental care. Very expensive.

Yeah, it is.

Or affect is something that affects you and effect is something like a sound effect, special effects, etc. Effects that can affect you.

Affect is personal or emotional? Effect is other?

Affect is to have an effect on something. Pesticides can affect health. Pesticides have a bad effect on health

Effect, however, can be used as a verb meaning "to bring about": The administration hopes to effect new health care legislation. Affect can also be used as a noun in psychology, meaning "a feeling of emotion"

Yeah, sure...

Too much analysis but it makes sense now.

There are people talking around me and making noise so it's still not making complete sense to me. I'll try to figure it out later when no one is bothering me.

blooge is so smart, though the only part he mentioned that i didn't really get into is when "effect" is a verb

You should fuck me because of my awesome grammar skillz.

that would just be an added bonus, silly.

My Systems Analysis book kept using effect and affect in the last chapter I had to read... It was distracting because of this conversation. I think I kinda get it now.

So it's like... This conversation has affected me vs this conversation could have an effect on me? Yeah, no?

If it's no, I quit.

Correct! =)

Awesome. That's something I was never able to grasp. Then again no one ever really tried to explain it to me, blah. A little help works.

You got edumicated.
