  What do they mean by Japan’s tariffs? It’s not ours, it’s the stupid Americans that’s imposing them.

    No, no, you don’t get it. It’s the other country that pays the tariffs… duh.

      In some cases ‘they do’ (they don’t) as the tariffs imposed may well be enough to stop people buying X at 150-200% of normal price, if selling X to US was a big enough chunk of BizY’s business, then that does impact the target country, not just US citizens.

      In all cases US citizens hurt, but in a few the target country does too.

  Clearly the Japanese shouldn’t be making all our Japanese games! We need American businesses making Japanese games!

  Affected, not impacted. Never use the word impacted when you mean affected. Use impacted when bodies collide.

    At first I was thinking, why not use “impacted”, it sounds a little bit awkward, but I’ve definitely seen it being used in relatively formal situations (or at least that’s what I remember).

    But no, I looked it and “impacted” should not be used in the sense of affected. TIL.

      Impact, impacted, impacts are totally fine for these use cases. As a native English speaker, I’d never heard of these rules against using them that way.

      But even if there is a rule, it doesn’t matter; if the terms are used this way and fully understood by both the speaker and listeners, then the rule is void.

      Where did you look it up?

      Merriam-Webster defines it as:

      the force of impression of one thing on another : a significant or major effect

      And lists "affect" as a synonym when impact is used as a verb.

      If media can say “slammed” to mean “said something about”, I can use “impacted” to mean “affected”. Especially when we have the word “impactful”.
