A grammar reference chart titled "KNOW THE DIFFERENCE:" laid out as a two-column table. The left column lists progressively absurd invented words and the right column gives a definition plus an example sentence. AFFECT: usually a verb meaning to change or influence something (Example: I was very affected by your letter). EFFECT: usually a noun, the result of some action (Example: The letter which affected me caused a strong effect). IFFECT: an adjective for one's level of certainty as to whether a change was caused (Example: The letter affected me, but I felt an iffect effect). OFFECT: a noun for one's mental state regarding change (Example: The letter affected my offect, and I felt an iffect effect). UFFECT: a noun for something sent with the intention to create a change (Example: The uffect affected my offect, and I felt an iffect effect). YFFECT: a conjunction indicating intent to discuss a matter pertaining to a change (Example: The uffect affected my offect, yffect I felt an iffect effect). The joke escalates the real affect/effect confusion into a nonsense paradigm of made-up vowel variants. The votey (aftercomic) is a single line of text reading: "IN FACT MY AFFECT WAS FECKIN FUCKED."
