I stand by my use of affect in that the term, while generally used as a verb can be used in the phrase "have an affect" to denote having a negative impact upon something. Effect can also be used, but is a more neutral term, where it can denote either positive or negative impacts.

nerr nerrr

No, it can't. Affect as a verb indicates impact - "I was affected by a bad cold" - but affect is only correctly used as a noun as a technical psychology term meaning expression of emotion - "the subject displayed heightened affect while watching the disturbing video". The OED doesn't even list it as a noun: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/affect

It does get widely used as a noun in general conversation, but invariably incorrectly.



You need to learn to use the quote functionchap. Nerr nerr.

Yeah I know right! How else can you do it other than click on the "Quote" button and type at the end of the previous message?

Oh and don't worry, FF knows I am pulling his leg.

I'm enjoying the English language discussion, its affecting/effecting (delete as appropriate) in a positive way...

No they can't!

Oh, ok - back to the topic.

I think it's a good thing; always liked Tim as a finisher, and with him and Walker fighting it out, that can only be good for us. We seem to have a good run of wingers coming through...just need to get them the ball now!

You don't really need to get Tim the ball, as he just intercepts it all the time

Incredible how some people can pick an argument about the use of a word isn't it?

Saw the article on facébook the other day. It is certainly understandable that all the travelling and mucking about would be draining. Scotland's loss and ourr gain the way I see it. I hope he continues the good run of form he had last season. It's still a mystery why he wasn't picked at the beginning of last season frankly!

Good article, and when he lays out the affect the constant call ups to the Scotland Squad only to be sent back to us had on his family life & training schedule with us, you can understand his decision. Here's hoping that he and Charlie have the same Nandos challenge they did last season & they both push their try totals up through the season!
