1. So self centered
Only I’m effected don’t bother me.
Oh poor me I gave it to my husband. Pray for us. How about prayers for the completely innocent people you might have affected? Never even crossed her mind. Btw, I think I used effect and affect correctly, but would appreciate being corrected. |

2. First sentence should be "affected". I think.
![]() EDIT: I always get these two words screwed up myself. Affect is a verb Effect is a noun. To affect something results in a certain effect. Therefore, I think "affected" should be used in both of your statements. However, take what I say with a grain of salt...I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. ![]() |

4. Thanks
It’s easier being an engineer. We’re not expected to speak good English anyway.
![]() I googled and still don’t know. Affected can be used as a past tense verb that means influenced or changed. It can also be used as an adjective to refer to a noun that has been affected (the affected body part). Effected is a past tense verb that means brought about or achieved. It's a very subtle difference from affected.
At least it’s not as basic as its and it’s so it seems I deserve some slack, just a bit. |

7. Actually they can both be a noun or a verb.
Most commonly, though, you are correct in that affect is usually a verb and effect is usually a noun.
Effect as a verb would be something effecting of something else. Affect as a noun is used commonly in psychology kind of like manifestations. 30 years as an English teacher! You caught me on my lunch between classes. |

8. Is she continuing to attend church while she knows she's infected?
She says very clearly that "...I'm NOT missing out on worshiping."
Churches are pestholes, full of people just like her. |
