effect is the more formal version. so if your coworker stumbles into you and comically knocks over all your files, that would affect your work schedule. but if your boss called you in to tell you off, that would effect it.

People posting in this topic are trying to affect your understanding of these words.

Hopefully, the effect will be that you'll learn the difference.

you use affect whenever you would use whoever and effect whenever youd use whomever. eg.

whomever crashed their car into the side of my house greatly effected my exposure to the elements.
i would like to find whoever did that so i can affect their ability to breath.

Honestly messing up has almost no effect so it doesn't really affect your life in any way.

Effect is a noun

Affect is a verb

Actually, both have both noun and verb definitions, though they're used less often.

Effect (Noun): The consequence of doing something (the effect of dropping a brick on your toe)

Effect (Verb): To facilitate or carry out (pass me a brick to effect dropping it on your toe)

Affect (Verb): To have an impact (dropping a brick on your toe would affect your ability to walk)

Affect (Noun): Observable emotional state (dropping a brick on your toe resulted in a negative affect)

The noun form of "Affect" is almost exclusively used in medical/psychological contexts, so it's by far the most obscure in most people's experiences.

Let' hope you don't get a junior doctor who's unable to tell the difference between a drug that effects something (makes it happen) and a drug that affects something (has an impact on it, e.g. modifies or mitigates what's happening).

Medicating mood disorders effects the effect of affecting your affect.
