So does one use the noun or the verb in this case ?

I'm going for 'affect' here ...

Are you serious? "serious" here is not a proper noun, but a common noun. You can tell by the absence of a capital "s".

I guess dbee's dictionary is broken?
Or perhaps he is merely affecting ignorance?

In case you are serious, there are many English teachers in this country who could probably offer you their services.

Also note the following:

it's = it is
its = possessive

they're != their != there

"could of" != "could have"

affect=verb "the rain affects how we go to school"
effect= noun "the effect of the rain are the puddles."

the way i remember, affect starts with an "A". verb has an "E" they are hard to remember, so the dont match.

Don't forget the verb "to effect" as in, to cause to happen or bring about.

It affects/effects me.
"affects" would weigh more on the subject.
"effects" would weigh more on the direct object (ie- you)

It doesn't affect me.
It effects me.
