Affect/Effect - Bethy
Posted: Jun 10, 2010
The doc I work for frequently says "and he will increase the dosage until he experiences exessive side effects or good affect."
I know the first "side effects" is correct, but I believe the later he means "good effect" and he just says it incorrectly, but I question myself each time.
Is there anyone who can clarify this for me? I am most appreciative!
is there a difference in the way he pronounces them?? - That may be the key. Also,
[ In Reply To ..]is he the poetic type? Or does he see himself as creative? He could be proud of his little effect/affect sentence. I would say it is affect if he pronounces it that way!
Definitely effect here - AnotherMT
[ In Reply To ..]Affect as a noun relates to facial expression as in psychiatry. Otherwise, effect would be what you are looking for when used as a noun. Just google effect vs affect and there are lots of great examples.
You are correct! - Bethy
[ In Reply To ..]I have checked it many times! He just continually says "good affect" And I keep typing "good effect" because that is what I think it is, but I thought I would come to the experts in case! Thank you so much!
