Thank you!

I suggest using the "Search" box at the top of your screen. Enter "except/except for" and press Enter. Then, when you've read the many thread comments, make your determination and tell us what it is.

You can almost always use just "except". It is optional to add "for" before a noun phrase.

Everyone left except (for) me.
They all wanted white wine except (for) Samantha.
Lucy liked all of the clothes except (for) the woolen sweater.
