Here is another homonym merge that is sometimes puzzled or misused. (Heya, that will rhymes!)

Accept can be a verb that means for willingly, or to admit somebody into a class, or to approve of a perception.

Examples:
The summer intern accepted the undertaking offer.
SPE accepts The reasoning people as end users if they have a degree furthermore work in the oil
industry.
Horizontal burrowing is really a widely established technique of producing gas through thin reservoirs.

Except is generally used to be a preposition or conjunction, although is simple a verb meaning to exclude or maybe object.

Examples:
Every summer intern has been offered a career apart from Bob.
(preposition meaning "with your exception of")

SPE would've reconditioned your membership rights except you decided not to ever pay your costs.
(conjunction that means "only")

He excepted laterally drilling from the directory site of potential production approaches.
(verb this means "to rule out of the group")

If questionable, question "leave it out?"
If the solution is sure, then employ "except."
