      Alright, Enough

      to affect = to influence
      to effect = to produce some effect, to make effective

      I can't stand people getting those wrong.

      Thanks for your time,

      I think the word "affect" is technically more common than "effect."

      The senseless propaganda affected his decision to vote.
      The senseless propaganda effected a response from him.

      ^That is probably so wrong...

      Not true. I can use the noun "effect" to define the verb "to effect". They're different words, only spelled the same.

      But if you really want it: to effect = to cause

      Also, ketchup is delicious.
