I'll have to revise my mental image of the people who make such mistakes, since YOU certainly aren't stupid.
I think the main confusion is because "affect" as a verb is similar to "effect" as a noun.
Gramar never made sense to me when in school and only minorly so now. Drwex has been trying to teach me and I'm trying to learn so I can help our kids.
Interesting. Since you pick up plenty of other things quickly, I wonder if you could have some sort of minor learning disability in this area.
Once again, I apologize to have included you in a class to which you do not belong!
