I like to use the verbal form to effect a state of confusion for those who struggle to tell the difference between effect and affect. Yes, it's an affectation.

If you were to bare your arms against me I might get the strangest boner. If you then were to bear arms against me, it would probably disappear quite quickly.

Salvation is here for you OP - and at last the chance of me to use something I learned at school - loose rhymes with goose, and everyone (according to my English teacher) knows that goose has two 'o's. Problem solved, your life saved, no need to thank me.
