    Where did you look it up?

    Merriam-Webster defines it as:

    the force of impression of one thing on another : a significant or major effect

    And lists “affect” as a synonym when impact is used as a verb.

      Just a quick web search; the first few results which linked to dictionary style resources.

      Now I am confused. :)
