In response to ""effect/affect" and "except/accept" are what's driving me insane these days" by Reagen

Those in your subject line can sometimes just be pure typos. Your brain knows the right word but you just type the word that sounds like it. I see

(and have made that typo myself) here many times. It should get picked up in proofreading in a class context, but even there studies show it's difficult to proofread your own stuff because your brain autocorrects without you even realizing it. So I have some sympathy for it.
