Assuming what he’s saying is true, I still keep coming back to this line:
“My boss said, ‘I would have killed someone who said what you said in the meeting.’”
How does someone say something like that? And how is this something that he’s never been called out for?
I’m sorry but you’re wrong: effect can be used to mean to cause something to happen. This is different from affect’s verb form, which is to influence something.
Affect also has a noun form, if you’re curious. This duality of effect and affect having both noun and verb forms, even though each has a more popular common usage, is a common thing to misunderstand.
