Dave: Hey, why is Eric talking with a Chinese accent?
Sam: Oh, his grandma isn't very good at English I think...
Dave: Geez, he's got a pretty good conversational accent.

Cog Acceptance

Acceptance of many forms of Steampunk. Being open-minded and/or inclusive to the variations steampunk comes in.
Western Steampunk, Victorian steampunk, Edwardian steampunk, Steamfunk, WWI steampunk, and Eastern steampunk being welcomed at a convention are all examples of this.

Saying to someone, "that's not steampunk because it isn't brown, has no gears, (or whatever else you can think of)" is NOT cog acceptance.

Autism Acceptance

When people recognize that autism and disability are a part of the human diversity. When people understand that autistics are no different than everyone else. When people find support groups and accommodations that help autistics become the best people they can be. When people are OK with working with autistics instead of trying to "cure" them. When people understand that they need to have patience when interacting with autistics. When people celebrate and are proud of who autistics are.

Autism Acceptance centers the voices of autistics. It celebrates the autistic culture, and tells people that autistics are valuable to families, communities, and to the entire world exactly as they are EVERY SINGLE DAY (not just on the month of April). Autism Acceptance is when people create a better, more fair, and more inclusive world for everyone (with and without autism).
I appreciate it when people support Autism Acceptance because it shows that they truly respect and care about those who have autism, like me.

When people understand that I don't need a cure for autism because they accept who I am as a person, not only does it make everyone's lives better and easier, but it makes the world a much better place.

(The person who wrote this sentence DOES have autism)

Adception

The clever corporate marketing strategy of placing an ad within an ad.
John: I was shopping online, hit an ad for HP toner, bought some and when it arrived, there were ads for Directv inside the box! That's some serious adception.

Jane: Well, I started seeing posters for it on buses and watched the trailer...when I actually saw the movie, there were ads before the previews and product placement throughout the whole thing. Excessive adception me want to walk out!
