If I correct it, does that dock me points for being "detail-oriented" or do I gain points for being a "Mr."?
gain points for being a good team player and helping me out.

nice sig.
Okay, if I get points for correcting you, then "effect" is correct. When "affect" is a noun, it means a demeanor, or appearance. eg, Her affect was of being better than the rest of us. Think "affectation".
