    You’d have to use a different phrase, then. I think it’s easier to just remember that “effect a change” starts with an E, but maybe that’s just because I’ve seen it in print so many times.

          And I showed you how you were wrong in your own source, and you’re still arguing.

          What you showed me was a rare exception that didn’t cover my use case.
