For basic usage, that's alright, but in a strict sense, it's not true.

"Affect" can be a noun, as in "That Mark Rothko painting has a lot of affect for something more abstract."

Making things more complicated is that for this use of "affect," I believe it's pronounced "ah-fect" and not "uhfect." Or at least that's how people I've known have said it.

"That guitar effect affects the signal by distorting it." Is it any wonder why musicians especially would get confused about this?
Also muddying the waters: effect change

I always think algorithm should have rhythm in it, and have to stop myself.
I KNOW, RIGHT?
The other day I couldn't get it right and thought my phone's auto suggestions would help me, but even it was like, "Yeah I got nothing, chief." I didn't know whether to throw it into the Carribean or Mediterannean Sea.
