    @SharylAttkisson affect or effect? Not misspelled but misused. What wise guy came up with those two words?

        @SharylAttkisson @MikeZooLoo Further aggravating things: both can be used as both a verb and a noun. I sympathize with non-native speakers.

        @SharylAttkisson @SladeMendenhall Beside spelling,,,pronunciation. Words spelled the same but pronounced differently? Like read & read.

        @MikeZooLoo @SharylAttkisson Affect vs. effect: simple, 'affect' is a verb, 'effect' is a noun. Just remember that and no problem.

        @SharylAttkisson @MikeZooLoo I found this mnemonic device: Affect = Action. Effect = End result. A=A, E=E.

        @SharylAttkisson One of my favorite talk radio guys, Barry Farber, used to say: "Do not infer that which I did not imply." (Paraphrasing.)

        @SharylAttkisson He also pronounced pique with a long i, like the fish a "fit of pike". Of course these were not the only signs ; )

        @SharylAttkisson I remember when Donahue was trying to refer to the hoity-toity and said hoi polloi, the exact opposite.
