Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always distinguish between "affect" as a verb (to influence) and "effect" as a noun (the result). Use "affect" when indicating that something will produce a change, and "effect" when referring to the change itself.
Common error
Avoid using "effect" as a verb. Remember that "affect" is typically the verb, meaning to have an influence on something. Using "effect" as a verb is rare and has a different meaning (to bring about or accomplish).
