In my accent, the vowels at the beginning of "affect" and "effect" are both reduced to a schwa, so they sound the same unless I affect an exaggerated pronunciation for effect :) However, "affectation" doesn't start with a schwa, so this was a handy word to peg the words to, once I realised I needed to exert some effort to sort it out. They are two-syllable words with the stress on the second syllable: those first vowels don't stand a chance.

The vowels at the beginning of "Affluent" and "Effluent" carry the main stress, so they don't reduce to schwas, so they sound different to each other.

Lol, brilliant. Anons who are confused about it should read this sentence over and over.

Oh, interesting. The latter half of "affect/effect" also carry the main stress when I say them, but only "affect" reduces, "effect" retains the same pronunciation as "effluent". Mind you, I've also heard people said "ee-ffect", though I wonder if that isn't precisely in order to differentiate between the two.
