Metaphors are fine. Everyone likes metaphors. Its the similes that you have to look out for, man.

Then I could compare all of you to me by saying you're a compass and I'm the fixed point in the center, and you promise you won't argue about the impossibility of the needle rotating constantly at Mach 3?

I was originally hoping we could be donne with it, but that would probably send the wrong message. Especially if I reinterpreted his idea right.

9.8m/s is the amount which an object falling and solely under the control of gravity will accelerate.

No, no, no. I shall repeat myself: 9.8m/s is a measure of velocity, not acceleration. What you are looking for is 9.8m/s/s. However, you post is also misleading because there is no single gravitational constant

I think 9.8 m/s^2 (32ft/s^2?) is the gravitation acceleration on Earth. If you drop a rock from a really high place with no air resistance, it won't maintain a steady velocity.
