Re: On "graciously" accepting
I think someone posted that "Team 0000 graciously accepts" is actually bad english, and it should really be gratefully in that instance.

But, I"m not sure what the "correct" thing to say would be, due to that issue and the other issue you brought up.

I think they should get A for effort anyways if they are accepting that way, and not just saying, we accept, or other things I have heard for people declining in the past which weren't so gracious.
