Its very easy to confuse between these two due to their similar spellings and pronunciations; its even easier to differentiate, if you know their meanings...
Accept: means "to receive, or acknowledge"
I'll always accept any reps you give me.
Do you accept this proposal?
I asked her to marry me, and she accepted...
Except: means "other than; excluding"
Every country at the sports meet performed well, except India.
I know almost everyone here at XB, except the newbies..
Ok guys...
I'll accept all types of chocolates you give me, except the milk flavoured ones..
