Comment on Please settle a debate. A kid in the womb is better off listening to stuff like cat in the hat so it can be read to it at bedtime? Or history of the world during the womb and read it later?

  Neither one is right. Effect is typically a noun. Affect is a verb.

    You’re not wrong.

    I wish I could see the edit timestamps on Lemmy, because I’m sure that comment was different.

    The stupid thing is, I’d originally written the comment with quotes to point it out, then chopped it back because I realised that I was massively overexplaining it. Those quotes would have been handy now!

    Then again, it’s not impossible that I made a mistake then too!

    I’ll leave my comment up, but strike it out so it’s not misleading, but this still makes sense.

      On the Voyager app you can see that it wasn’t edited at all.

        Boost shows that it was edited :|

        In any case, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that I made a mistake in my original reply.
