When �affect� is accented on the final syllable (a-FECT), it is usually a verb meaning �have an influence on�: �The million-dollar donation from the industrialist did not affect my vote against the Clean Air Act.� Occasionally a pretentious person is said to affect an artificial air of sophistication. Speaking with a borrowed French accent or ostentatiously wearing a large diamond ear stud might be an affectation. In this sort of context, �affect� means �to make a display of or deliberately cultivate.� Another unusual meaning is indicated when the word is accented on the first syllable (AFF-ect), meaning �emotion.� In this case the word is used mostly by psychiatrists and social scientists� people who normally know how to spell it. The real problem arises when people confuse the first spelling with the second: �effect.� This too can be two different words. The more common one is a noun: �When I left the stove on, the effect was that the house filled with smoke.� When you affect a situation, you have an effect on it. The less common is a verb meaning �to create�: �I�m trying to effect a change in the way we purchase widgets.� No wonder people are confused. Note especially that the proper expression is not �take affect� but �take effect��become effective. Hey, nobody ever said English was logical: just memorize it and get on with your life. The stuff in your purse? Your personal effects. affect/effect Subject: affect/effect There are five distinct words here.
