a similar thing happens to me on occasion, like just this morning I thought I asked my wife to please pass me the corn flakes, but apparently what came out was "you fricking count! you've ruined my life!" oops

Agreed, I see this one all the time.
Affect is a verb, Effect is a noun. Think sound effect, that's what helped me
