I have been directed here after posting this bug independently: My post was a duplicate.

Regarding Alex's comment: This is not ambiguous at all. The correct (and common in this context) usage is "Effect". "Effect" is a noun. You are applying an "Effect". The action applied "Affects" the object to produce the desired "Effect".

As to priority, this obviously does not "Affect" function; however, it will have the "Effect" of annoying anyone competent in English usage.

Just change it.
