    Just a friendly heads up, it’s affect, not effect.

    The way I remember it is affect is an action, and effect is the result of an action. English is dumb.

      No, they used effect in its verb form correctly.

      effect

      effected; effecting; effects

      transitive verb

      1: to succeed in doing or achieving (something) : to cause or bring about (something) : accomplish

      effect a transformation in company culture

      effected a settlement of the dispute

      … a powerful reminder of the potential of technology to effect change.—Chris Gallagher

      2: to put into operation

      the duty of the legislature to effect the will of the citizens

      … an executive grant of clemency … to effect the prisoner swap.—Eric Tucker et al.<

      English! 😆
