"affect" is always a verb form."effect" is a noun.

 

affect: verb transitive. to produce an effect in, to impress. to assume pretentiously, to use or favor as a personal preference. How were you affected by the change in regulations?

 

effect: noun. something produced by an agent or cause. power to produce or cause results. mental impression, main idea, or meaning. to bring about or accomplish, to produce or make. Now that was the effect I was hoping for.

 

Dru is clearly correct in the usage chosen in this context. There endeth the lesson...

Inappropriate shift in tense.

 

How so? We are talking in the past tense here. Spelling has been affected blah blah blah. I'm no ENglish major, but I do know past tense when I see it. wink.gif

 

Of course, Dru may be inappropriate... grin.gif
