..but is there a rule? If so does the rule have a cool rhyme like " "I" before "E" except after "C" "??

Affect and effect are two words that are commonly confused.

"Affect" is usually a verb meaning "to influence".
  • The drug did not affect the disease.
"Effect" is usually a noun meaning "result".
  • The drug has many adverse side effects.
"Effect" can also be used as a verb meaning "to bring about".
  • The present government effected many positive changes.
