A Few Rare Exceptions

I'll go with the version that's a verb most of the time, and is not the exception to the rule.

You'd have to use a different phrase, then. I think it's easier to just remember that "effect a change" starts with an E, but maybe that's just because I've seen it in print so many times.

I mean I showed you the literal dictionary definition. I'm not quite sure why you're still trying to bend things in the opposite direction. At this point I think we've discussed this enough.

And I showed you how you were wrong in your own source, and you're still arguing.

What you showed me was a rare exception that didn't cover my use case.
