I Accept Your Exception!

I have always had difficulty determining whether to use "accept" or "except" in my writing. The following is information from Dr. Grammar that I found to be informative.

Accept is a verb meaning "to receive" or "to approve."
Example: "I accept your offer of the book."
Except is a preposition meaning "excluding" or "leaving out."
Example: "He liked everything on the plate except the liver."
Except can also be a verb meaning "to leave out" or "to exclude."
Example: "He excepted all Corvettes from his list of favorite cars."
