One: pet peeve. "effect" is a noun, "affect" is a verb. E.g. "My new
insurance takes effect on Monday and it will affect my plans to have

Sorry, most people do abuse and confuse "effect" and "affect". But
'effect' is a perfectly good verb. For example you can not effect
(i.e., bring about or accomplish) significant changes in usage by
correcting such errors. People willfully ignore criticism!
