Damn you, Monster, damn you to the seventh circle of hell, reserved for journalists too lazy to stop and think about whether they need affect or effect.
(Meant in the nicest possible way, of course).

My wisdom teeth were impacted. The maxilofacial surgeon unimpacted them.

Yeah, my journalist friend defends it like the freedom of the press depends on that word's very existance. Drives me nuts.
As does a current local radio ad: "Did you know 1 in 5 Canadians are impacted by mental health problems?" wtf

I think we need to look at the origins of the word "impacted."
You have 'im', which refers to the 'I' that is 'me.' Pacte, I believe, is derived from latin and means 'elephant' or 'hippopotamus.' Finally, we have 'd' which is old world English shorthand for damnation. So there you have it: I'm a damned hippopotamus. Thank you. |

I thought this thread was about bowels.
I couldn't vote as there was no option suitable for me. I'm special and you haven't catered for my circumstances.

maybe your affect is affected by the effects of your impregnation?

then perhaps you are impacted after all? I recommend paraffin and a social occasion that requires the wearing of tight white pants. Trust me, I'm a Dr.

Anyone who saw me wearing tight white pants would definitely be impacted.
