Which doesn't mean that gravity is not acceleration. Nice diversion,
though.

Gravity is a force - the weakest of the four fundamental forces
(gravitational, electromagnetic, weak, and strong IIRC). The [gravitational]
force *causes* acceleration. Gravity is not acceleration. The value for the
acceleration *due*to*gravity* at sea level on earth is about 32.2 fps^2.
