    **** Usage notes

    _Effect_ is often confused with [en]. The latter usually suggests influence over existing ideas, emotions and entities. While the former indicates the manifestation of new and/or original ideas or entities:

    - “New governing coalitions have EFFECTED major changes” indicates that major changes were made as a result of new governing coalitions. - “New governing coalitions have AFFECTED major changes” indicates that before new governing coalitions, major changes were in place, and that the new governing coalitions had some influence over those existing changes.
