Try it: Were you _ffected by the full moon last night? She really likes motorcycling except for how the wind _ffects
her hair. Yeah, the _ffects of the wind look a bit like a giant cat licked
her head. I really like the special _ffects in the Lord of the Rings movies. Do you think lavishing Mrs. Wicklund with compliments would
_ffect my grade? No, but I think the _ffects of you doing so would be nice
anyway.
