Nah, they used the wrong one. It’s not a big deal, but I like having easy ways to help remember common misspellings or weird things. Like on two axis graphs, the X and Y coordinates sometimes get confusing. So, in order to remember which coordinate is which, X and then Y, and then you have to RUN (horizontal, X) before you JUMP (vertical, Y). I heard that from some teacher when I was a kid and never forgot.

Wait, I’m the guy you corrected. What’s the easy way to remember affected vs effected? You just told me which is which, but do you have a trick like you do for the X vs Y axis on a graph?

I agree that they used the wrong one, I’m just saying the comment they are responding to used the correct one :)
