Accept vs. Except usage explained clearly with examples.
Accept means 'to receive willingly.' Except is used mostly as a preposition meaning 'excluding.' For example, 'He accepted all the gifts except mine.' So, in the sentence 'Dr. Wilcox said she could accept my paper even though it was a day late.', the word 'accept' is used correctly to indicate receiving something willingly.
