There is obviously a profound lack of reading comprehension on the part of the respondents.

I wasn't wearing my glasses but I'll stick by my guns since it was the same idea. They could both be correct but "effect" is less commonnly used as the transitive verb.

Affect would be more better here.

at the time of this post, the incorrect answer is in the lead about 2:1

this poll alone goes to show how dumb the majority of this forum is. stupidity is clearly not a trait of a winning player. therefore we must conclude that the majority of 2+2ers are not winning players.

I voted affect. To effect a physical state would mean to cause it, while to affect a physical state would mean to influence/change it. Yes? It seems clear to me that talking about affecting a physical state is what would be "standard" here.

Another story is that if you meant effect when you wrote effect, then effect is the correct word to use. Yet another story is that I can't see how your statement can be anything but wrong.

Oh well, why am I replying. English is not even my first language.

[ QUOTE ]
Usage Note: Affect and effect have no senses in common. As a verb affect is most commonly used in the sense of “to influence” (how smoking affects health). Effect means “to bring about or execute”: layoffs designed to effect savings. Thus the sentence These measures may affect savings could imply that the measures may reduce savings that have already been realized, whereas These measures may effect savings implies that the measures will cause new savings to come about.

does this really matter? the loser won't pay, even though the winner was decided on this EXACT poll. Some people are bitches and hate to take a sucker bet, but when they do, there's always a way out. Veen, be thankful you didn't let a 3rd party hold your cash on this foolish bet. You can just talk your way around it with your IRC cronies and feel like you were right all along. How awesome is that? Nobody thought you would pay, cuz you're bitch. I know it hurts baby, but you should have known better.

I thought that the right answer is affect, but Im functionally illiterate, but if you cut and paste the paragraph into MS word, its is a grammar error, and gives affect as the correct answer.

terrible bet by both sides, since the poll is never ending and therefore the outcome of the poll will remain uncertain.

buster made the sucker bet and lucked out on the stupidity of 2+2.

it wouldve been a great bet if he had done that intentionally, betting against the correct answer and on the dumbness of OOT posters.

alas..
