Excepting Business Cards


Let's just start at the very beginning--commonly confused words.

Accept is to take or receive something (as in, business cards).

Except means with the exception of or excluding. So this would mean they are excluding business cards. And maybe accepting everything else?

The good thing about the English language (or maybe the credit belongs to the human brain) is that we can get the point even when grammar isn't perfect. This is an amazing example of how true that is.
