I used to correct people on the use of effect and affect. I got tired of repeating myself.

😂 if we think of it, it’s kinda laughable. I’m having fun with it. Thank heavens, it’s not life or death. {{Hugs}}

I loved that clarification. I just had to use the word effect this morning and wasn't sure. I was right thankfully, it was a noun.

I always have to think twice when I'm using affect or effect. Thanks, Grammar Lady!

Thanks, Linda! It was fun recording it. I was disappointed my fog machine didn't work. Or it would have been really spooky. I'm getting goofier as I age... Ha! xoxo

Very creative and entertaining as usual ... and might I say, and effective way to teach grammar. It affected my funny bone. 😁
