effect (verb) - to make something happen: we effected the change of regime

also
effect (noun) - an effect (should be obvious)

I think generally the verbs effect and effectuate are interchangeable, whereas affect and effectuate are not.

So would this be an acceptible form?

The special effects had no affect on my suspension of disbelief. In effect the effects had the opposite affect of being poorly designed and ineffective?

No, cos all those cases are nouns, so they should all be 'effect'.

What kind of suspension do you have?

like he said, it's a suspension of disbelief. it works by convincing you that there are no bumps.

You gotta hand it to Ropey here. Just cuts in, says what he thinks and hasn't even been back. It would be hard to hate him except that he's so douchbaggy.

Ropey's crafty. So many conspiracy theories about him and his army of alter-agos.
