I discovered a fantastic new website full of grammatical wisdom today. Check it out here. I've been writing a paper for my Biz Writing class about the affects of color on us {had to pick a design related topic in order to put in any real effort} and found that I had no idea about the subtle differences of the proper uses of affect/effect. I knew I was in over my head and could use it wrong if I wasn't careful. I'm well versed now thanks to Grammar Girl. Ask me if you really want to know. I even picked up an awesome mnemonic to help out next time I'm up to my elbows in grammar related conundrums.
{I know, sometimes I blog out of habit, rather than to update you on the latest. But I guess this is the latest. Finals are making me fuzzy.}

You mean there are rules to follow ? Man I am embarrassed now about the effects/affect that I have when people try to read what I wrote .
That is ALL you can share with us??? You think we believe that all you are up to is school and work?? Ha!! I know better:)

What? You are in your LATE 20's, and you are just now realizing that there is a difference in those words!
Um, because I'm sure I've know what the effects would be on you for a while.....
