So... Can you answer my question?

Do you have anything against the word "affect" in *any* instance?

Yss, the Merriam-Webster dictionary also lists the meaning
"to cause illness, symptoms, etc."

I did not ask you if you could list one definition contrary to the
intended purpose of the word "affect".

I asked you if you have something againt the word "affect".

We can use your same logic to find one definition for the word "impact"
contrary to your intended purpose.

That's exactly the point you have been making, though.

That's not the intention of the question.
