Well, thank you, I learned something today! Damn you, English! shakes fist (the language, not the Amish term for non-Amish people)

Plenty of Americans find those things “weird”. Myself, for instance.

At least ranked-choice voting for some elections (reducing the pressure maintaining the two-party system) is up for a vote in my state soon.

Edit: affect (v.)/effect (n.)
