I hope this analogy helps to illuminate the fundamental problem with
the widely used terminology: zero/microgravity.

- Gravity is *distinctly different* from acceleration.

While gravity has a property of acceleration, it is *not*
acceleration. A 'g' is a unit of acceleration standardized upon a
particular case of acceleration due to gravity (the gravitational
acceleration at the surface of the Earth).

Are you sure??? I may be mistaken but from the point of view of describing
forces felt by, or accelerations produced in a body accelerations ARE
equivalent to gravity.

This is highlighted by comparing Newton's law of gravity vs Newtons 2nd
law.

Newton's Law of gravity states that

Fg = -Mg * del(Mg * G / r)

Newton's Second Law states

Fi = Mi x a

where

Fg and Mg refer to gravitational force and mass
G is the universal gravitational constant
r is the radius vector
Fi and Mi refer to inertial force and mass

If you solve for a

a = -(Mg/Mi) * del(Mg * G / r)

which is testable (for Mg/Mi=1) and has been tested to in excess of one
part in 10^11 and within those limits found to be true.

This means that acceleration and gravity are essentially indistinguishable
for the body being acted upon.
