When the world wide web was fairly new, I remember browsing random website just to see what a person or organization had to say. Back then, most websites were just text with the occasional picture thrown in for effect.
Speaking of effect and websites, I was writing a memo and needed to use the word effect - or was affect - I didn't know. So off I went to see what Google knew about that subject. The first website on the list was labeled "effect or affect" - that was perfect. Finally I was going to get an answer I could trust.
What I got was far more. This is a real find for those of us who love the language but just don't know all the rules.

ReplyDeleteI come back to Jeff's blog every once in awhile to see if he's added anything. It's hard to believe that he wrote this current blog in late October. I miss you, Jeff. Feel free to comment here anytime.
