There's a nice podcast by Grammar Girl, where she spends a minute or two explaining various grammar connundrums.
Her easy mnenmonic was:
A
Very
Easy
Noun
*A*ffect is a *V*erb
*E*ffect is a *N*oun
Unless you're studying behavioral science, in which a neurotransmitter may effect an affect. haha (ignore that! it's just gonna screw you up!)
Grammar girl says that if you can remember A Very Easy Noun, you'll get it right 90% of the time!
good luck, and hope you have positive effects!
