why shouldn't you be able to use effect both ways
if you added "directly [have an] effect [on] you." to that sentence, what he said is still correct
you can't do the same with affect
which lends itself to more specific use
>I have been affected byfr ex
I know it's not grammatically incorrect but also I'm not necessarily opposed to redefining it just so I stop hearing this fucking conversation
