The answer IS Effect....
Posted By: andromeda on 2005-07-25
In Reply to: Nobody here seems to definately know answer Thanks see mssg - opinions needed for affect/effect
How something WILL "affect" you; this cough DID "effect" my lungs. Sorry, but graduated high school in 1964 back when people really cared about grammar!!!
AFFECT means to have an influence ON; EFFECT is the change that occurs!!!
You see, effect is something that is brought about by a "cause", that is the affect part; "The antibiotics were effective in treating the infections." Hope this helps. Also, it seems mostly in the medical field affect deals "mostly" with psychiatry and emotions. It does however, most certainly, have a place in "normal usage".

Something to the effect of what a (sm)
great job we do, etc. It was really more the tone than the actual words that were said. Ever have someone speak to you with such animosity that it kind of gives you a chill? That's what this was like.
I'm probably just being too sensitive about it, but it was hateful.
affect v. effect
Effect is noun in the instance noted. Affect is a verb most of the time. Anything else?
Affect/effect
Affect can be a noun in psych - patient having a "flat affect" - no expression. Effect usually is used as an action word and in this case it is effecting a response or a cause.
effect or affect?
Here is a rule of thumb my boss taught me:
Affect - (a verb) "to change or alter".
Effect - ( a noun) "a result".
You will very rarely use "affect" in the context of a sentence, but it will come into play every once in a while.
WHEN is this supposed to go into effect?
I have not received letter.. Is this everyone or just employees or just IC ??? Specific info would be lovely
affect/effect
Affect can also be a noun, as in "patient's affect", effect can also be a verb as in "to effect a result".
your affect has an effect.
Does this person think that English usage doesn't matter in MT work? Some of the worst medical errors got that way by misuse of plain English words.
Affect/Effect
Effect is not always a noun, and affect is not always a verb. When you "effect" a change, effect becomes a verb. When someone has a flat "affect," affect becomes a noun.
Yes, effect is correct.

Affect vs. effect
Hopefully this will help, although I guess everything is subject to interpretation:
AFFECT is a verb meaning "to influence" or "to pretend or imitate". EFFECT can be a noun OR a verb. As a noun, it means "result". As a verb it means "to produce a result".
In your particular sentence, it is being used as a verb...so which one to pick?
Without knowing the rest of the record, I would have to go with "effect" because I'm guessing (again..limited knowledge) that the doctor is indicating that if the bleeding doesn't stop, he has to do a hysterectomy. If the hysterectomy has already been done, or it is planned, than surely, further bleeding could "affect" the planned surgery or something that happened during the hysterectomy.
Without more information, it's a crap shoot!... I'm sure that was as clear as mud.

To clarify affect/effect, here is what a friend said:(emphasizing the first syllable and pronouncing it with a "long E"):
"I affect the Effect"

Probably said that way for dramatic effect , sounds - sm
much more dramatic to say "went missing" as opposed to "has been missing".
I would worry more about the side effect
A man taking that killed himself and beat his wife up. My brother took it and got deeply depressed. He said he quit taking it. He also quit smoking off of it faster than on it. Thank goodness for him because he smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day. I'd say try something else and leave Chantix alone.
Affect is a verb, Effect is a noun, DUH

Affect is a verb and Effect is a noun, DUH nm

Definately affect/effect! Hate those!

Thanks for all your help. I did find it but can't get it to take effect after hitting apply so w
with it. If I remember I put my headphones behind my ears as well. I just don't always remember. But thanks again!!
I don't get the parentheses - supposed to be like an echo effect?

Caffeine and sugar had negative effect
My experience with trying to remain alert during 3rd shift: I was trying to perk myself up with caffeine and sugar, but also found that I actually became MORE tired as a result. Apparently, there's a biochemical explanation for this, due to the effect of caffeine and sugar on my insulin/blood sugar response. Both caffeine and sugar cause an initial rise in blood sugar, but then a serious slump in blood sugar occurs, causing me to be even more tired than before. So, I gave up the coffee and, after 3 days of withdrawal symptoms with horrendous headaches and fatigue, am having much more success staying awake during 3rd shift. I have also found that a protein drink or snack is a much better solution. Also, I am told that there are stimulants that do not affect the central nervous system as caffeine does, such as guarana, which I have not tried yet.
Also, it took me at least six weeks to adjust my body clock. I figured out that I had to sleep at the same time every day for several hours, at least 7, and couldn't just take a few naps during the day and then expect to stay awake at night.
The only reason I choose to work at night is because the pay is better; otherwise, I wouldn't do it. I look forward to someday having a decent account with a decent pay with a 24-hour turnaround time. I realize this is a fantasy.
It may take a few days for the full effect of the anes to wear off
I know it's hard, but give it some time. Call your vet and ask questions, express your concern. If it doesn't get better (which I think it will) you may want to speak with a veterinary neurologist.
Hugs to you both!
Unfortunately, NO. Didn't help me. It made me depressed. Reverse effect. nm

I believe this is an unfortunate side-effect of cyber-space.
No one needs to look someone in the eye and be accountable face to face for their actions. Being "on-line" is anonymous for the most part and being rude and nasty to someone has no consequence for the hurt it causes someone else.
Affect is an Action (or psych state)..Effect is a rEaction

Please! This is called progress and it was in effect long before Obama came into office.
Try being a freethinker for once and stop following whatever someone else tells you based on supposed "facts."
Ugly, physically repulsive people with nasty attitudes have that effect on me.
Ugly, ugly, ugly
A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.
Mass affect on brain or mass effect on brain?

Answer
Yes, of course I'm half afraid if I leave him I won't find someone else and half afraid that I will!! I'm old enough and had enough good and bad times with men that I really don't think it would be the end of the world if I lived the rest of my life alone. It's maybe what I would not choose but it might have some positives in the long run. At least that's what I tell myself when I'm feeling good, during the middle of the night is another story....
Break-ups are tough. How do you stay on course. You get lonely, you miss him, you doubt your judgment, you want to try again, you tell yourself maybe you were too hard on him......
I think I should go to a counselor, it's just that it's quite expensive and as I said, I'll be paying for it out of pocket. I think they will tell me pretty much what you have.
It sounds like things have worked out for you. I thank you for your insight and help.

The payperiod I average 16,000 lines is a bimonthly payperiod. It runs 1st through the 15th and 16th through end of the month. It is WAY more than the minimum requirement. I am EXPECTED (with that employer) to do a minimum of 6000 lines per payperiod but the incentive is just too good to pass up.
See my post below if you want to know more. Or ask me. I'm not hiding anything. I'll tell you straight up what works for me.
Yea.. I used to think that. Now, for me, the answer is, no.
but again, you should go for it. You might love the challenge and have a really great team that will help you not have to roast over the flames. Its always possible!
Godspeed my friend, do it if you want to. It really might be the best thing you ever did! Or not, but either way, you will know for sure!
I can only answer for myself. sm
I never applied for a supervisor's job. When the super quit because of stress I was asked (no begged) to take the job (in the office) until a qualified supervisor could be hired. Time dragged on until I finally had to say either a supervisor was hired in 2 weeks or I would be quitting in two weeks. I never enjoyed being "the boss," don't know why...I just didn't. Another thing.....I abolutely HATE being told lies. I was told by an MT that she couldn't cover her 3rd shift assignment (guess who did cover it) because her grandmother had died...that was the 6th time AFTER I started counting, no telling how many grandmother's she had all told. I guess some people enjoy being the boss for one reason or another.
my first answer is, of course, neither but (sm)
if I HAD to choose, I guess I'd say A...rather give it to some poor children than some rich b****.
a better answer would have been
leaving off the "jerk" comment, and recommend that people contact the MQ office they are affiliated with to see what that particular office wants them to do.
Anyone doing DQS...please answer this for me.
When I need to enter a NEW HEADING, I type it in, then it brings up a new box that says "type in new heading"...I finish typing it, hit OK or whatever, and it puts the new heading in my report.
BUT...it doesn't KEEP The new heading! ARG! It stays on the drop down list of headings for THAT REPORT ONLY but then when I do a new report, the new heading never shows up.
What am I doing wrong? Help!! 
answer
I don't quite understand what you mean by the style they prefer, I worked there 4+ years, it is either feast or famine, not a very honest bunch. You can make money for short periods of time until they over hire and run the account out of work and make promises to you they won't keep. They don't have very good communication and rarely return calls or emails. Their platform is not too bad, seen better, but easy to use. I would like clarification though by what you mean by the style they prefer?
the answer is
New blood who don't ask for much, job a low line rate and glad to have a job. They don't see that the experienced workers will soon all be gone.
Got my answer!!!
I have been asking for months, "WHERE ARE ALL THE DOCTORS I CAN UNDERSTAND, I CAN'T MAKE MINIMUM LINE COUNT ANY MORE". I do not do ASR but my account is on it and I have been screaming for months that I can't even use my expansions anymore, that I have used for years. They are going to hear from me again. They respond to me like I am crazy, well I know now that they know why!!!
THANKS!!!

Where did O'Reilly get his stats?
HOUSEHOLD INCOME DOWN, POVERTY UP:
MORE THAN 1 MILLION FELL OF MIDDLE CLASS IN 2004
Before President Bush took office, under Democratic leadership, income was on the rise, jobs were expanding, and the economy was booming. Today, the Census Bureau announced that real household income has decreased in 2004, falling for the fourth consecutive year. Since the beginning of the Bush Administration, household income has declined nearly $1,700. Over 1.1 million people fell out of the middle class into poverty in 2004, an increase of 5.4 million people living in poverty since Bush took office. Despite this, Republicans still have no plan to help struggling middle class families. Democrats are fighting to create jobs and keep good paying jobs here at home.
HOUSEHOLD INCOME DROPPED SINCE BUSH TOOK OFFICE
Household Income Declined by Nearly $1,700 Under Bush. For the second consecutive year, median household income declined: income dropped last year by $93 -- down to $44,389. In real terms, median household income has declined by $1,669 since 2000. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table A-1]
African Americans And Latino Household Incomes Have Declined by More Than $2,000 Under Bush. Real median household income did not increase between 2003 and 2004 for African Americans and Latinos. African American households had the lowest median income, at $30,134--down by $2,273 since Bush took office. Median income for Hispanic households was $34,241 in 2004--down by $2,141 since Bush took office. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table A-1]
Average Earnings by Women Declined by About $330 in Real Dollars During the Past Year. The median earnings of women declined over the past year, from $31,550 to $31,223. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table A-2]
1.1 MILLION PEOPLE FELL OUT OF THE
MIDDLE CLASS AND INTO POVERTY IN 2004
Number of People Living in Poverty Increased by 1.1 Million in 2004. Approximately 1.1 million people fell out of the middle class into poverty in 2004, an increase of 5.4 million people living in poverty since Bush took office in 2001. The poverty rate has increased from 12.5 to 12.7 percent over the past year, increasing for the fourth consecutive year. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table B-1]
Nearly 1 in 5 American Children Lived in Poverty During 2004. 13 million children lived in poverty in 2004, an increase of about 1.4 million since the beginning of the Bush Administration. This comes on the heels of a 730,000 increase in the number of children living in poverty in 2003. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table B-2 ]
Disproportionately High Number of African Americans and Latinos Live in Poverty. Nearly 25 percent of all African Americans (9 million) lived in poverty in 2004, an increase of over 250,000 over the past two years. Nearly 22 percent (9.1 million) of Latinos lived in poverty, an increase of almost 500,000 over the past two years. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table 3]
1.9 Million More Americans Enrolled in Medicaid in 2004. As 1.1 million Americans dropped out of the middle class and into poverty in 2004, the enrollment rate in Medicaid increased from 12.4 percent of the population in 2003 to 12.9 percent in 2004. Without the safety net of Medicaid and SCHIP for people who dropped into poverty, the health insurance numbers would be even worse. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05, page 16 ]
NEARLY 46 MILLION AMERICANS LACK HEALTH INSURANCE: NUMBER OF UNINSURED INCREASED BY SIX MILLION SINCE 2001
Today, the Census Bureau announced that the number of people without health insurance nationwide increased to 45.8 million, the fourth consecutive annual increase. A total of 800,000 Americans became uninsured last year - many because fewer employers offer health insurance to their workers. As a consequence, American families are paying higher and higher health insurance premium - which are expected to double under Bush's tenure by 2006. Yet, Bush and Congressional Republicans lack a real plan to address the problem.
ONE IN 7 AMERICANS LACK HEALTH INSURANCE
Nearly 46 Million Americans Are Uninsured--Increasing for the Fourth Year in a Row. The number of Americans lacking health insurance increased by 800,000 last year--and by 6 million since Bush took office in 2001. Today, a total of 45.8 million people are uninsured--roughly one in seven Americans. [U.S. Census Bureau, 8/30/05; Table HI-4]
Answer
No, I don't work for that office. Mine is out of Baltimore and I have to admit that I have really really liked most of the folks I have had contact with. My current supervisor is wonderful!!! Pretty much always have lots of work available. My only complaint is my secondary account is not so hot (but LOVE my primary) and have never had a raise in 8 years (hmmmph), but other than that I'm quite happy.
We have a cabin up north where DSL is not available, only dial-up, so I work on a laptop and take it with me when we go up there. Very nice.
Answer
Yes, obviously if I am to purchase a home, all the expenses that come with home ownership are coming out of my income alone. I do not pay anything currently except the phone bill, some groceries, ins for car, and gas, and I have lots extra that I spend frivously that obviously needs to stop.
