Usage Note: Affect and effect have no senses in common. As a verb affect is most commonly used in the sense of ?to influence? (how smoking affects health). Effect means ?to bring about or execute?: layoffs designed to effect savings. Thus the sentence These measures may affect savings could imply that the measures may reduce savings that have already been realized, whereas These measures may effect savings implies that the measures will cause new savings to come about.

Also, effect refers to how one thing affects another.

I laugh because it's (not its) been brought up many times on this board (not bored) and although I agree completely, it's not going to change unfortunately.

We also have to remember that for many people on MR, English is a second (or third) language.
