:rolleyes:

Your and You’re are not the same thing.

Their, There and They’re are not interchangeable.

Two, too and to are three different words

It’s and Its are different.

Are and Our mean different things.

Scene and Seen both start with S and that is where the similarity ends.

point made

At least you know the difference.

Oh, here is another one…

Then and than mean different things. One references time, i.e., now and then. The other references choice, i.e., I’ll have beer rather than a cocktail.

Wow, back to grade three lol.

You’re right though, a lot of people don’t know how to write properly, or maybe they just don’t put the effort in when typing online.

This question doesn’t really affect me, but in effect I am answering it anyhow. 😛

Temperature affects pressure…it “changes” something

the buttterfly effect…some gay movie with that Ashton guy, but also meaning already “changed”…can only really be used in singular terms I think

Affect is like the action…the result is the effect.

Think of it this way. Affect = before. Effect = after.

I’ll properly explain affect and effect. :lol:

Effect is usually a noun, and can be replaced with result. ie: The effect/result will be felt by thousands.

Affect is usually verrb and can be replaced with influence. ie: The will affect/influence the lives of thousands.

And yes, the chassis error annoys the hell out of me almost as much as the “I seen…” phrase commonly found in spotted threads.
