Amer. informal make like. EASILY CONFUSED WORDS affect or effect? Affect and effect are quite different in meaning, though frequently confused. Affect is primarily a verb meaning either ‘make a difference to ’, as in their gender need not affect their career ( affect 1 ), or ‘pretend to have or feel ’, as in I affected a supreme unconcern ( affect 2 ). Effect, on the other hand, is commonly used both as a noun and as a verb, meaning ‘something brought about ’ as a noun (move the cursor until you get the effect you want ) or ‘bring about (a result )’ as a verb (growth in the economy can only be effected by stringent economic controls ).These notes clear up confusion between similar-looking pairs.
