how about this, not developing as expected. Does that satisfy you? The fact I was talking about with my finger is the Affect. Because my finger was broken in a door, it is now crooked. Granted that technically is not a fact, but probable. I say fact lightly. I shouldn't. In my experience, most people don't separate fact from probable theory. I had no intentions of this getting down to the significance of a slight misuse of a word. Which is all it's become. The bottom line, is that my first post is true to the best of our knowledge at this point, with the allowances of light use of some words (to get the general point across), and with it, there was no offense.
