Affect and Effect

There is considerable confusion in the use of these two words in English today. The word 'affect' is a verb, and it means "to influence or make a change to" something. The word 'effect' is a result of an action.
Let me illustrate this with examples of the correct usage of the two words:

The new tax policy will not affect you in anyway.

The effect of Pollution will be borne by the next generation.
