Stupid affect/effect people. Both are nouns and verbs. I use the noun “affect” all the time, and use the verb “effect” every chance I get (which isn’t really all that often).
I think it was Jimmy Carr who I heard, “Possessio is 9/10ths of the word” from.
Actually, according to this mug “it’s fucking boring” becomes “it fucking is fucking boring”.
Or alternatively:
literally: non-fictional unless the word “literally” is being used figuratively, since any English word can be used figuratively and “literally” isn’t a magical exception

Also, technically, there should be a double quote, not single quote around the word “are”.

Um, affect is also your fucking body communication of your internal emotional state. And effect is a fucking verb as well as a noun, and means to fucking bring something about. HTH.
