Two of the most commonly used homophones are affect and effect and except and accept. Homophones are words that have the same sound but very different meanings. For example: "I, very appreciatively, accepted the gifts. All except for the $100 dollar gift card." Accept means to recieve willingly. Except means to take or to leave out. On an occassion I am guilty of making this mistake. I forget that there is another meaning or way of spelling what I'm trying to say.
