Not really, no. The ground isn't moving. I'm not moving. I get that if the ground wasn't there, I would be moving, but that's not the same thing, I think?

Like I said in another response, I have always been told that acceleration is change in velocity over time. If my velocity is not changing, I don't understand how I'm accelerating?

I do understand that gravity exerts a force that is indistinguishable from acceleration, which was my original point. But that doesn't mean it is acceleration.
