~~effect~~ affect
Sorry, I appreciate your post.
Thanks for the info but I purposely only ever use effect. The difference conveys no additional information, and it's already close to an archaic usage
"Affect" is nowhere close to an archaic usage, if that's what you mean. But of course you are welcome to spell it however you like.
