ya i never really understood that one either. i think it goes, effect is like the resault of something. like someone did this, and it had this effect. affact is like the impact one has on something. like you can affact something and then you get an effect from it. am i right?

Of course Merriam Webster would disagree, they’re an American organisation. I, however, am Canadian. Note the ‘s’ in ‘organisation.’ 😉

I’ll keep my badge, thank you.

I didn’t read any of these posts cause im lazy but I was thinking about it before I do this so much! you know what it is?

Its people saying “ur” always on msn. You stop using your and you’re so when you’re (i did it) trying to be formal you say “your” where you should say “you’re” or vise versa, whereas “ur” works in either situation, so I think thats what fucked me up.

Maybe these guys are jsut stupid though? hahaha naww just kidding of course. My theory is ur
