Affect was the right verb - sm

Posted: Dec 20th, 2018 - 10:17 am In Reply to: No it is not. - check the definition. It should be

It is correct to say will affect coding, etc.

You would use effect as an active verb in a sentence such as "I am going to effect (bring about/create) a change in policy." But "how will this affect (influence) policy?" So it's create versus influence.

If you said "how will this effect (bring about/create) policy?" you would be asking something totally different.

And then, of course, there is "the policy change did not have the intended effect." :)

And "the patient has a sad affect."

One of the most confusing words in the English language if you ask me.

Anyway, I guess it remains to be seen what effect (lol) if any the 3M/MModal deal will have. I guess minimal if MModal's service side just carries on as before somewhat independently from the technology/3M side, obviously more so if 3M/MModal decide together to get out of the service side of the industry completely. It will be interesting to see, though.

        You can call it whatever you'd like. As a QA, I'd - call yours a 3-point error. (Views: 405, 2018-12-20, 1:13 pm)
        Who cares? Does not say much about your QA - abilities or should say lack thereof (Views: 556, 2018-12-20, 1:29 pm)
