[jkyu]

Cecil Ragnarok (10:08:38 PM): it's kinda complex
Cecil Ragnarok (10:08:41 PM): so we can put more affs in
jkyu444 (10:08:51 PM): you mean effects?
jkyu444 (10:08:53 PM): like haste/slow?
jkyu444 (10:08:55 PM): etc?
Cecil Ragnarok (10:09:25 PM): indeed
Cecil Ragnarok (10:09:28 PM): affects
jkyu444 (10:09:37 PM): no no no
jkyu444 (10:09:44 PM): that's improper use of the word affect :p
Cecil Ragnarok (10:09:50 PM): not in the mud ;_;
jkyu444 (10:10:01 PM): if the mud jumped off a bridge
jkyu444 (10:10:02 PM): would you?

"Usage Note: Affect and effect have no senses in common. As a verb affect is most commonly used in the sense of “to influence” (how smoking affects health). Effect means “to bring about or execute”: layoffs designed to effect savings. Thus the sentence These measures may affect savings could imply that the measures may reduce savings that have already been realized, whereas These measures may effect savings implies that the measures will cause new savings to come about."
Cecil Ragnarok (10:10:22 PM): no, I'd probably push it off
jkyu444 (10:10:26 PM): Hahahaha
jkyu444 (10:10:28 PM): Nice counter
