Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference?

If it is leaking enough to effect wifi then you really should get a new unit if you could.

I wouldn’t cover it in foil as that will block the air intakes from cooling the unit.

Language police sirens. Something can affect something else, or can have an effect on something. Otherwise, perfect comment!

  Policing the police I suppose. “Effect” can actually be used as a verb, and it means “to bring about a result”. So something could effect something else. It’s still used incorrectly in the original comment, I just wanted to contribute a nitpick I thought you’d appreciate.

    Yes! Thank you! But I find it so rare on the internet that “effects” must be a typo like 99% of the time (pulled it out my ass but yeah)

  Close enough. It gets the message across.
