      effect verb

      1 : to cause to come into being

      2 a : to bring about often by surmounting obstacles : accomplish effect a settlement of a dispute

      b : to put into operation

      Effect is a perfectly fine verb. It’s wrong in this case, but it doesn’t imply the use of special effects.

        I understand that but I wasn’t about to go full English teacher on people. Maybe it’s condescending, but when speaking in public or online, I prefer to explain things in a simplified way that the general public can understand. My girlfriend likes to accuse me of mansplaining; I won’t argue that it is an incorrect assessment.

      You say that but I added after effects to the money shot. (It’s confetti).
