RE: Word Usage

["Bacheler, Harry ." <HBacheler -at- seta -dot- com>]

 Roger, et al
 
 My version of the "Gregg Reference Manual, Ninth Edition" states
 
 Page 182
 
 affect - to influence; to change; to assume

 effect - (n) result; impression; (v) to bring about
 
 Page 283
 
 Affect-effect. 
 
     Affect is normally used as a verb meaning "to influence, change,
assume"
     Effect can be either a verb meaning to "to bring about" or a noun
         meaning "result, impression"

Does anyone know of free Internet resources regarding standard U.S. English
word usage?  For example, the Web site might show how to properly use
"effect" and "affect."

Thanks in advance for your help.
