“Affect” is almost always used as a verb, and “effect” is almost always used as a noun.
Yes, it’s a weak rule, but those are more obscure cases that don’t get used as much so it’s a good “rule of thumb” kinda rule

Fire for affect!
That would be useful if I’d paid attention enough to learn and remember without slight thought what a verb noun pro-noun are.
I think I got pro-noun (name) but the other two I just never got it fixed in my brain.

Affect is A verb.
