    I’m gonna massively contribute to this discussion by saying that it’s “affected” instead of “effected” :D

    And some text to spare anyone the need to look up the difference:

    • affected - meaning that something was influenced or changed (e.g. the lyrics affected him)
    • effected - meaning that something was brought about or facilitated (e.g. she effected the proposed changes)

    And a mnemonic I stumbled across while looking up the exact difference:
    “Affect is an Action. Effect is an End Result.”

    Well, and thus a few minutes of my nightly time go by. Hm.
