accepted vs excepted

Inspectors frequently write excepted, which I'm not even sure is a real word, when from the context they mean to write accepted. Since accepted means allowable and except means to exclude, what they write is the opposite of what they mean to say.

A literate person will be confused, and a lawyer would be licking his chops over that one.
