Lesson in spelling for Matt Price [The Australian]

Matt Price. Good morning!
I quote: " ... to affect significant change any time soon. "
I think it would be more appropriate to use the word 'effect' rather than 'affect' as effect means to bring about sig change when affect means to alter significant change.
I know it's a small point but Australian journalists are becoming a shoddy lot with regard to grammar and spelling and I'd like to think you were a bit above all that.
I agree with your point of view.

The truth is that a liar is a liar and John Howard is a liar

Another Howard lie, writes Jimmy G of Sydney. How many does that make for our worthy PM? WE sit there when Howard delivers his homilies and we wonder why it is that Aussies believe this critter ... at any time. If a person lies to me once, I remember that fact and I am sceptical the next time this person says anything to me. But if that person is allowed to lie to me, again and again and again, and again, I must take umbrage with myself for even contemplating the notion that this person may, just may, be telling the truth. The truth is that a liar is a liar and Howard is a liar.

There are many Australians, non-Muslim Aussies, who agree with Kamal Mousselmani. Israel may not be a terrorist state but it behaves as one. And I am not afraid of saying publicly, in spite of our ludicrous security laws, that Hezbollah is indeed a resistance group dedicated to the defence of Lebanon againsst blatant naked illegal inhumane Israeli aggression. Indeed, some of us are Jewish Aussies, and we do not like the way Israel denigrates our position in the world. There are Jews who do not like what Israel is doing. Are these Jews terrorists also? Indeed!

I watched Mr Frishot on TV yesterday morning and all I could think of was that he is an absolute hero. Quiet, unassuming, humble ... he will be remembered for his decency.
