To effect the proper use of effect would affect those who do not use affect

[lexical_closure]

I keep seeing people write effect when they mean affect. Effect and affect as verbs have different meanings, and ... I wouldn't call it annoying, it just jars my reading flow a little.

But I don't want to be that guy who runs around correcting what people write on the Innernets. That guy can be an asshole. ;)

I actually have to process those words when I use them to make sure I'm using the right one.
