Breakfast of champions.
(snickers, mini chocolate muffin, mocha crackuccino. For the love of god, someone bring me a bagel or something.)
Driving to Bloomington to pick up my brother. It figures that this is the only patch of sun we’ve had all week.
Are you kidding me? What is wrong with people? Do we even have an education system anymore?Be honest, do you really know the difference between the two? I called a writer friend of mine the other day, and he even had a hard time explaining the distinction. So when I was surfing Divine Caroline and came across “Eleven Writing Mistakes Even Smart Writers Make,” I finally found a clear answer:
“Here is a rule to follow: use affect as a verb and effect as a noun. An affect (noun) is an artificial air that someone puts on. Do you pretend to have a British accent? That’s an affect. To affect something (verb) is to change it. An effect (noun) is the result of someone or something affecting something. To effect (verb) means to accomplish or make something happen.”
As a former nazi/champion of AP style (which I then had to completely forget the moment I got a real job, seriously, no one uses that crap out here) I find this to be one of the best uses of Twitter I’ve ever seen.
I did not post that. One of my retarded friends presumably did and I am going to kill him/her later.
