Things too can be affected, for example “OpenAI’s stock price was affected by news of yet another data breach”.
I think its easier to distinguish “effect” from “affect” by remember that “effect” is a noun - so a something - whilst “affect” is a verb - so an action on something.
Ha!
When your “cost-saving” affects another bigwig’s bottom-line.
Is it affect or effect? God English sucks.
A thing causes effects. Something (or someone) is affected.
Easyish way to remember the first is just think of “cause and effect”.
To remember the second, picture someone screaming “AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” which is like the ‘a’ in affect.
Not quite.

Lol thanks. Now my brain is imagining screaming people and I’ll never forget it again 😂
I just remember affect is a verb, effect is a noun.
