I always mentally replace "impact" with "affect" and it tends to have a... positive impact... on readability.
I enjoy what I call the tone-deaf impacts, like these newspaper reports: * Advanced weapons provided to Ukraine are having an impact on the Russians. * An Australian man who threw a wine bottle from a balcony in Singapore and killed a person on the ground said he was sorry for the impact it had on the victim's family. Oh well, it's Friday now. I have to find something to pretend to do until 5 o'clock. *Greg*
