I never believed in love spells or magic until i met this spell caster once when i went to Africa in February this year on a business summit. I meant a man who’s name is DR.Osaze he is really powerful and could help cast spells to bring back one’s gone, lost, misbehaving lover and magic money spell or spell for a good job or luck spell .I’m now happy & a living testimony cos the man i had wanted to marry left me 3 weeks before our wedding and my life was upside down cos our relationship has been on for 3years. I really loved him, but his mother was against us and he had no good paying job. So when i met this spell caster, i told him what happened and explained the situation of things to him. At first i was undecided, skeptical and doubtful, but i just gave it a try. And in 7 days when i returned to Canada, my boyfriend (now husband) called me by himself and came to me apologizing that everything had been settled with his mom and family and he got a new job http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=62588#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=62588#Comments Tue, 04 Jun 2013 19:47:55 GMT Aaron grammar How are these tips dirty? http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=62141#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=62141#Comments Tue, 21 May 2013 19:25:32 GMT Rhonda @laugh-quotes grammar I look this one up way too often. It must be having an effect on brain. Thanks for making it so clear. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=61902#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=61902#Comments Tue, 14 May 2013 05:37:59 GMT Kelly Jo grammar It would be helpful to explain the difference between affect and effect when they're used as adjectives. For example, I know that "the affected area" is correct rather than "the effected area," but I'm not sure why in terms of official grammar rules. Thanks! http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=61502#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=61502#Comments Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:17:59 GMT Sean grammar So could it also change depending on how you word something? Example: This had an effect on me. This really affected me. The line seems to be blurred for me here. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=60925#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=60925#Comments Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:12:24 GMT Happy time grammar I loved the passage with all my heart, And I love you http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=60896#Comments http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/affect-versus-effect.aspx?commentid=60896#Comments Wed, 10 Apr 2013 14:17:00 GMT Mary Lou grammar Another way that I've always remembered the difference is to tell myself that "affect" indicates an "action." "A" and "A."
