Since you live in the U.S.A, I'll go ahead and say this: the correct root word to use is "affect", not "effect". "Effect" is a noun. "Affect" is a verb. You are using the word as a verb. So you should have said "affected by bone grinding", and "affected by ethereal".
That's the English lesson for the day.  |
