Effect or Affect? Learn the language.

I have been going crazy for years over this. effect is totally different than affect. I hate this shit.

Effect -
1 a: purport, intent b: basic meaning : essence2: something that inevitably follows an antecedent (as a cause or agent)3: an outward sign : appearance4: accomplishment, fulfillment5: power to bring about a result : influence <the content itself of television…is therefore less important than its effect — Current Biography>6plural : movable property : goods <personal effects>

Affect:
1archaic : to aim at2 aarchaic : to have affection for b: to be given to : fancy <affect flashy clothes>3: to make a display of liking or using : cultivate <affect a worldly manner>4: to put on a pretense of : feign <affect indifference, though deeply hurt>5: to tend toward <drops of water affect roundness>

on edit:
Allow me to go on here:
The effect was awsome.

The affect was awesome.

Two different meanings but this is how our language is warped.

An effect can affect you. Effect is almost always a noun, and affect almost always a verb.

Of course, this being English, there are exceptions to both of those rules; affect as a noun tends to be a psychological term, and effect can be a verb with an object (as in "the film effected a change in the boy."

Confused yet?

I get it.

I hate the confussion.

It effects me.

I have no affect.
