who's effected?


THE PROPER WORD FOR THIS SENTENCE IS AFFECTED.


Wrong.

Effected = bearing the consequence or EFFECT (if you will) of an action or an agent

Affected = ADJECTIVE as defined by dictionary.com:
1. assumed artificially; unnatural; feigned: affected sophistication; an affected British accent.
2. assuming or pretending to possess that which is not natural: Her affected wealth and social pedigree are so obviously false that it's embarrassing.
3. inclined or disposed: well affected toward the speaker's cause.
4. held in affection; fancied: a novel much affected by our grandparents.

People would be EFFECTED by this meaning they would have to deal with consequences or repercussions of another event.


Grammar Police, you're fucking fired.

You ARE WRONG.
You are now fired.
