Ah, the joys of ink tanks, printers, and dates on food.
I hate ink tank based printers, not least of which because I had to do the ordering for said beasts (well, I handled all of the printer supplies), and tank based printers eat ink like crazy, and if you don't use branded stuff, there's a good chance you'll have a mess to deal with.
Foodwise, as mentioned, best before dates are much different than sell by dates, which aren't actually expiration dates. Basically the dates you see on most food is the last date that the store is allowed to sell it, which is usually some time before it will actually go bad. Of course, you will sometimes ge stuff that goes rancid the day it expires, and other stuff, like lordlundar's cream, that stays good way beyond the bounds of what seems reasonable.
I actually have some black bananas in the fridge that I've been procrastinating on tossing. But the fridge was up too high recently, so there's a good chance they're currently frozen.
I had a conversation on my Linkshell in Final Fantasy XI about this one time. I used "affect" as a verb and some guy argued with me. Turns out I was right. Affect is a verb. Effect is the noun.
Not only are affect and effect both verbs and nouns, but they also have quite similar meanings.
If you're using it as a noun, then you most likely want effect unless you're specifically dealing with psychology.
As a transitive verb, however, it is less clear. One simple rule I found somewhere mentioned that if it's physical, then go with effect and if it's mental, go with affect. So, something can either "effect your health" or "affect your mood."
