Fixed.

That's not an exclamation, its a statement.

it's also a sentence fragment, and you forgot to apostrophise it's.

oh yeah, i thought id got the its/it's rules confused.
to be honest im not too grammar izan, especially when writing on the internet, but this situation was a moot point that wasnt even correct so i felt it had to be pointed out.

interesting aside, i started reading eats, shoots and leaves last night. she sounds like an annoying witch but is also quite funny at times, and its a novel read.

I think "accidentally" is an adverb, but "accident" is definitely a noun. It's a thing that happens. Haven't heard 'by accident' for a while, but I think it's valid.

"I accidentally shagged your girlfriend"
"By accident, my penis fell into your girlfriend"
"Shagging your girlfriend was an accident"
"I shagged your girlfriend on purpose"

They all sound pretty reasonable.

In general, to affect refers to the influence a change has on something else. In this sense, it is often confused with to effect, which generally means either "to cause/make/create a change" or to the result of a change. When used as a verb, "effect" refers to the cause of a change, or as a synonym for "created" or "made" ("The governor effected a change in policy"); while "affect" refers to the consequences of that change ("The new policy really affected our family").
