My dear sir - you appear to (highly technical psychobabble):
have gone completely bananas.
My OXFORD English dictionary defines 'affect' as a verb - it
defines 'affectation' as a noun - meaning 'pretence -esp in
behaviour' - I'm afraid you seem to suffering from delusions of
a linguistic nature...
When did you first discover this word, 'schizoaffective'?
Do you hear voices murmuring it?
