Accept, except.

Above. Preposition governing the objective case: The balloon is above me.”
Accent. In our multicultural, international age, we encounter more and more words from other languages that use accent marks. And more and more it becomes correct grammar to apply accents to names, words, and soon that come into English from other languages or that we use as we address those whose rst language is not
English.
If you are doing business with a company or person whose name has an accent,
your correspondence will show more consideration and most likely be better received if you include accents. On the other hand, if you are uncertain how the name or

word appears in the other language, omitting an accent is usually not very o ensive or confusing to the person who is being addressed. If you are dealing with individuals or organizations that choose to use an accent in their names, then it is probably best to show the mark in all your correspondence.
Please look under the speci c language for common accents and their use (French,
German, Spanish, etc.).
Accept, except. Do not confuse these two words that sound almost alike (near-
homonyms). Accept is a verb that means to allow, tolerate, receive. Except is a
preposition that means besides.
