lol. I always used to get affect and effect mixed up.
An Effect is a result, Affect usually means to alter.

I remember arguing with my class' resident "genius" over that in 8th grade. He used "effect" to alter, I used "affect". Whatever.

>.> *Love*
Now all you have to do is follow it. ^_^
How about punctuation?
Quote:
I would rather receive a letter like this one:
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we’re apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours? Gloria
than like this one:
Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we’re apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be? Yours, Gloria
Yet, the only difference is the punctuation.

But in that message all they did was move the periods and stuff to make a different message, neither one used it badly. It definitely changed the message, but I don't see what it says about whether or not you use it.
