Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
This is a funny comic. The person it's "inciting violence" against, Ayn Rand, has been dead for 42 years.
That's effect change. It starts with an E.
From Merriam Webster dictionary...
It's with an 'A'.
But I'll be sure to yell at my voice-to-text mode on your behalf, for getting it wrong in your eyes.
Keep reading.
From your source:
I'll go with the version that's a verb most of the time, and is not the exception to the rule.
You'd have to use a different phrase, then. I think it's easier to just remember that "effect a change" starts with an E, but maybe that's just because I've seen it in print so many times.
I mean I showed you the literal dictionary definition. I'm not quite sure why you're still trying to bend things in the opposite direction. At this point I think we've discussed this enough.
And I showed you how you were wrong in your own source, and you're still arguing.
What you showed me was a rare exception that didn't cover my use case.
