I was reading it and it didn't look right and got to thinking that surely some lawyers and editors went over the "official rules" to make sure the language was right.

I was always taught that "affect" was used when describing an action. And "effect" when describing the result of an action. The way it's worded almost makes both make sense as the "to produce" makes it sound like it's describing an end result. But it could also be referring to the action of tearing.

I was honestly asking. So, yes, I guess I'm a nerd.

Not a very good one, though. You could've simply said:

effect=noun
affect=verb

Underrated post imo. I lol’d.
