"to effect change"
|
What's wrong with that one Clod?
|
'Going forward'.
What is wrong with 'in (the) future'? |
Because 'in the future' sets the action at a future point in time, while 'going forward' takes you from this time into the future. It's more like 'moving on' than 'in future' - or a combination of the two.
|
"from now on" would be comparable with only 3 syllables.
|
Because "affect" already means "to cause change." Effect is the noun, affect is the verb. To "effect change" is a shortening of "to put a change into effect" and it's unnecessary and stupid. AND "change" can already be used as a verb, by itself.
|
That's fair. But, I think 'effect change' has a different emphasis. It's more dynamic and rooted in the person acting. 'Affect' - that can be something that is unintentional - 'effect change' is the intentional bringing about of change.
