It's easy for me to remeber...I just think of 'cause and effect', or 'how will this affect me'. Of course, I don't actually have to think of that anymore because it's second nature now, I'm old (lol), but that's how I used to figure it out when I was unsure.
I'm actually really surprised at how many people don't know how to use those words, and I'm no wordsmith myself....
Are you protesting the SOPA/PIPA law?

Tbh, I know there'e a difference between affect and effect, but I could never understand it. Mind explaining?

Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun.
I didn't know either, I had to ask my human dictionary :)
And I'll forget again in a few minutes.
