You can affect (verb) the outcome of a situation so it will have a positive effect (noun).
What's not to get?

That was considered a supreme sin for my 8th grade english teacher!!!! ;D i never even knew that kind of mistake had a name, and where i go to school grammer means nothing in english. 27 missed capital letters 13 instincis of bad grammer (this was only 2 A4 pages long) still passed ;D this is senior year in highschool and i still dont have a firm grasp of verb, noun, adjective, pro-noun and all of those things, even had teachers say i dont need too either. |

I always love when you think about a word too much and then become confused about it's spelling, etc.  |

I think about a word too much and it loses it's meaning. Actually, yeah, it's like it becomes this unfamiliar entity that you really never knew. However, this is usually after I've chosen the word for use and before I'm trying to write it. Then I plug it into Google, heh. The Internet - the third portion of our brains...  |
