Help me LJ land. You're my only hope.
Oh, dear.



Set up is "a bad thing has happened"

I am writing:

I believe this will effect/affect *project name here*, as that is the project logged in after the bad thing that happened.


Is it 'effect' or 'affect'?

Affect is a verb. Effect is a noun.

When you affect something, you have an effect.
