The horror

I just read the following line on the blog of a person completely unrelated to me that shall remain nameless.

Driver's ed: I'm terribly effected by it!

I am learning just how uneducated driving instruction people are right now... it's kind of useful to know the difference between "effect" and "affect"! Does the good state of Utah not care that its driver handbook is laced with spelling errors and other embarrassing typos?

(Incidentally, I am just biding my time until I make a spelling mistake in one of these sorts of comments... I know it's bound to happen some day. I'll take that risk.)
