Nit:

"Effect" is an Entity, a noun. They both start with "E."

"Affect" is an Action, a verb. They both start with "A."

Effect is sometimes used as a verb, especially in bureaucratese, but not in the way you're using it.

With apologies.

Since you went there...

"Affect" can also be a noun, referring to behavioral characteristics :)
