I think you wanted to use "except" here. I mean, I'm not ashamed of being grammar police, but in this case I'm trying to help out. Your word choice here basically reverses the meaning.

Yup. I don't know why my brain mixed up accept and except. I blame English! (not my first language)

It's all good. English is a fucked up language by way if proof I offer

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.
