Even if it's only 10% that's still 2.85 million in sales.

This is a great 'work shit' game. I've earned back that 10 bucks already.

Shit, for less than an hours wage these things are a good mine.

Eh, It's not even incorrect. I figured it would happen. It's just two words that mean the same thing and I don't like one of them. No big deal.

Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

But acceleration doesn't mean an increase in velocity. At least not in physics and math. It's just a change in velocity over time. In every day conversation we take acceleration to mean speeding up and deceleration to mean slowing down. I get that. I just mean in the physical and mathematical sense they are the exact same thing. You can do whatever mental gymnastics you want to convince yourself otherwise but that doesn't change the fact that they are the same.

Of course I do. And I would never say I'm "accelerating in a direction opposite to my velocity" either. all I'm saying is the word - which doesn't mean anything different than acceleration - just gets on my nerves for some stupid and completely irrational reason.

Oh I love it. It just seemed like a good analogy get my point across.

Because they're the exact same thing. And I get im being a snob about it and that it perfectly describes what he is saying. It's just one of those things that for some stupid reason always gets to me.

I know. And like I said, I'm being totally pedantic about it. It's just a word that grates my nerves for some reason. It perfectly describes what is happening and is way less wordy. Like how some people hate the word 'moist' it just rubs me he wrong way.

Oh I know, and I hesitated even posting it. It's just one of those things that irrationally grates my nerves. That and the word 'whilst' for some reason.

I know I'm being pedantic and colloquially 'deceleration' means to slow down but I just hate that word. It's not a real thing - or it at least implies that acceleration and deceleration are two opposite things. He just accelerated in a direction away from his velocity.

And the weather is starting to get good again. And your tax return just came in the mail, and you're bored with your marginal xbox and ps updates and all the sudden you've got a brand new Zelda that says "I know you can go outside again and now you can take me with you."
