On Twitter, @that_angela pointed out a Calgary Herald story about wildfires that uses the prepositional phrase in affect. Here is the sentence:
James Finstad with Alberta Health Services said its health advisory is still in affect.
Now, before we all start guffawing into our sleeves, let's acknowledge that we understand perfectly well how this happened. Folks routinely mix up 'affect' and 'effect,' which are most commonly used as a verb and a noun, respectively. But once you add the little preposition 'in,' only one of the two words can follow.
Quick rules:
- The prepositional phrase in affect does not exist.
- The prepositional phrase in effect can be used as either an adjective or an adverb. In this example, it is an adjective meaning 'operational' or 'in force.'
Correction:
James Finstad with Alberta Health Services said its health advisory is still in effect.
Note: In a perfect world, James Finstad would be identified by his title, which should be set off by commas. James Finstad, a spokesperson for Alberta Health Services, said its health advisory is still in effect.
http://www.discovermoosejaw.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16942&Itemid=399 is one such example of this silly mistake!
ReplyDeleteFor our fire department webpage, I've had "in affect" (for a fire ban) displaying since 2008 --- until tonight when a member pointed out the proper way. (Of course, I needed to research for myself, and ended up here; nice blog!)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletenice, helpful website. Answered my question about "in effect" which means "is currently effective" as I have now learned.
ReplyDeletethank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks this has confused me for years. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSpokesman** instead of spokesperson.. according to AP Style
ReplyDeleteThat correction is outdated, the use of gender-neutral identifiers whenever gender is not relevant is recommended for political reasons in order to avoid any implication that the speaker's gender relates to their credibility.
DeleteNew rule--each writer writes according to his or her own gender. As a male, I would write, "Spokesman." If i were a female, I would write, "Spokeswoman." Now the gender of the writer determines the gender of the prose, without offending any of the pinheads who have a problem with such things.
DeleteBecause both words have the same meaning (synonymous with "Influence" or "to influence"), and the same pronunciation, would it not make more sense, keeping in mind that language is dynamic and subject to change, to either use the words interchangeably or to select one or the other as the accepted version going forward? Not to suggest I have any opposition to maintaining the majority of grammatical rules, for the most part I accept the need for standardized sentence structuring. What separates this rule from others is the fact that spoken language does not distinguish between the two words, and yet this does not produce confusion over the speaker's intended meaning, rendering the distinction irrelevant to achieving the purpose of language; to communicate information.
ReplyDeleteHi anon; the reason to keep the rule is to keep the phrase from becoming an idiom.

Thanks for the help! You helped my disclaimer still be in effect.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I'm curious about another topic relating to the final, perfect sentence.
ReplyDelete"James Finstad, a spokesperson for Alberta Health Services, said its health advisory is still in effect."
It seems to me the subject here is "James Finstad". I read this sentence as, "*This guy*, ...and here's some helpful detail about who he is... , said his thing is still in effect."
I feel like I should be able to remove the clarifying statement in this construction, but I can't. I'd be left with "James Finstad said its health advisory is still in effect."
While this could make sense in context, and probably does in the article I can't get to, it doesn't seem to make sense on its own. Then again, "While this could make sense in context it doesn't seem to make sense on its own" doesn't exactly make much more sense on its own, so... *shrug*
How about this sentence: "In effect, her words became law."
ReplyDeleteIs "In effect" correct or is "In affect" correct.

ReplyDeleteThis is a great article. I am 52 years, ever since I moved to North America I seem to have developed a problem with my English skills and seem to have problems with words such as this. The problem is the 'quality' of the North American Education system! The reading material in schools and universities are mostly for economic/political reasons. I grew up reading English and the only way to clear these misconceptions is to read more and more English book - not 'American' books. I employ Canadian University graduates who still use 'there' instead of 'their' and no matter what they still can't seem to get the difference.

ReplyDeleteGrammarly Cost
ReplyDeleteLanguage is an important part of expressing ourselves to the whole world. It is needed while we are speaking to someone and also when we are writing something. The language that we talk often tends to have colloquialisms, and the grammar isn't always perfect. But it does reflect into our writings. Along with that, we aren't always able to write in perfect grammar.
