Thanks a lot, Dictionary.com
Usage Note: Affect and effect, each both noun and verb, share the sense of “influence.”
(Dictionary.com Unabridged, Based on the Random House Dictionary)
Usage Note: Affect and effect have no senses in common.
(The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition)
Both quotes from the Dictionary.com page on affect. And ADMAU somehow doesn’t even treat the subject. Real helpful, guys.
