Accept and Except

Accept is a verb meaning to receive or give approval to. You can accept a gift, accept an apology, or learn to accept your limitations.

Except is a preposition or conjunction indicating that something is not included. If I like everyone except Bob, it means that I like everyone else, but I don't like Bob.

The two words are easily confused because they sound quite similar, but they are not interchangeable.
