In Reply to: OK, Musikmike, "effect" or "affect"; lay it on us man. posted by Grover on November 28, 2002 at 17:32:02:
effect, to cause to happen, Sentence usage: The effect I had in that ass's back breaking is too much to bear...it has affected my belief in myself!affect, to have an influence, Sentence usage: It is very possible that writing about my vinyl collecting mania has affected others so that they too, have too many LP's.
How about their ( as in: It is their ass!), they're (as in, They're coming over with their ass!) and there (as in: Put the ass over there.)...or how about accept (O.K., I'll accept the fact that kissing an ass is weird) or except (I'd kiss her ass, except she might slap my head off!)
Who's having a party and inving that ass?
Whose party is this, anyway?The English language is filled with homonyms, which are words that sound alike but mean different things...that's the joy and the frustration of and with the language!
