Effect is a noun. Affect is a verb. I still get them mixed up. Affect can also be a noun in psychology/psychiatry circles.. are you completely confused now? lol
Words that tripped me up:
separate
equipment (a 't' should be in there, darn it!)
receive (I always get the i before e thing mixed up)
to vs too (too means Extra)
When I was in like third grade, my teacher taught me a neat trick to remeber the difference between dessert and desert: dessert is Sweet Stuff, desert has Sand .. lol I still remember that.
'vacuum' STILL gets me (did I spell that right?)
