LIttle Hawk:

Affect is also a noun. And effect is also a verb. These are all legitimate uses:

1. The psychological effect was so profound that she demonstrated a complete release of affect.

2. I hate the way some people affect the forms of literature without the corresponding depth, as though they were just trying to create an effect.

3. Make all the plans and laws and schedules you like, but do not seek to effect them without consent. To do so would affect people adversely, I am sure.
