    Yes, hence the second part of the sentence.

    Unless you need to use the precise word for communicating the “context difference”, just use the word impact(ed/ing/s). Makes it a lot easier for ESL speakers as well.

    Even then, most people can understand the meaning of the misused word due to the context of what’s being discussed anyways.
