You may be interested to know --- well, <i>I</i> find it interesting --- that there are lesser known meanings of &#x27;affect&#x27; and &#x27;effect&#x27; which are <i>the other way round</i>. You can effect a change, where &#x27;effect&#x27; a verb. And people can have an affect, where &#x27;affect&#x27; is a noun largely synonymous to &#x27;mood&#x27;.<p>I believe it&#x27;s even possible to affect affects by effecting an affect effect, in effect. English is weird.<p>(Linguistic tangents are best tangents!)
