Welcome, Jeremy.
I can't add anything to these definitions, but I must say that the use of effect as a verb bothers me. (Speaking of being a stick-in-the-mud!) To borrow a theme from other threads, why bring this word into use as a verb where perfectly good ones already exist, when the majority of the time it is and has been used as a noun? Doesn't bother me nearly as much as hearing "Antartica", but I still don't like it! To each our own quirks, I guess.

Oops! I take back my opening phrase. Psychologically, the noun 'affect' (stress the first syllable) means emotional demeanor.

Good to have you aBoard.
