An aside on the whole "affect" vs. "effect" thing... In fact, both words have both a verb and a noun sense.
Affect as a verb means to influence or change. Effect as a verb means to bring about. Affect as a noun means a feeling or emotion. Effect as a noun means a result or influence. Affect has the accent on the second syllable when it's a verb, but the first syllable when it's a noun. (Also, one definition of the verb affect is "to effect a change". :) Ronald
