Thanks for the advice and the great examples. I think there should be an added warning here that the grammar check on word will not suggest the right word on most occasions and on some occasions it will first suggest changing effect to affect and then in the enxt check will recommend changing it back.
I recall the first time that I became aware of any difference was whilst watching an episode of Star Trek the Next Generation in which the Dr Crusher character suggested that Commander Riker’s beard was an affectation. The things you learn from sci-fi, eh?

Right you are, Cassandra. The grammar function in Word is virtually worthless…there are some things that machines can never replace.

See? Popular culture does have some value after all…and that beard, that neat-and-tidy beard, was most certainly an affectation. Well played, sir!
