I believe divination has more than one definition, but this is one of them.

Now for a pedantic comment: acceleration actually means a CHANGE in velocity, not an increase. (After all, when half of defining velocity consists of determining the object's direction, it can't really be "increased". Speed can be increased.)

So when you go slower (lower velocity), you d also call it accelaration?

Yes, actually. The official scientific definition of "acceleration" is as @ecp said, any change in speed (velocity) or direction. Speeding up, slowing down, and turning all count as accelerating.

There is a difference between the English language definition of the word "acceleration" and the physics/engineering definition of the vector quantity "acceleration."

Please accept "depreciation" for money becoming more worthless.

Depreciation isn't your money becoming less valuable, it's what you bought with your money becoming less valuable. Buy a brand new car, and drive it off the lot with $20 in your pocket. The moment you hit the road, that $20 is still worth $20. But that $25,000 car is now worth $18,000. That's depreciation.

Not sure if I misspelled "dissertation" or not, but I ended up getting "desertion" halfway through the word. Either swap them around, do something about type-ins or remove one, I guess.

regurgitation for chewing chud?

Level 68
Nov 12, 2018
While I see your point that ruminants do indeed regurgitate, they only regurgitate so that they can do some more ruminating, i.e. chewing of their cud. So while regurgitating is indeed involved in the whole, somewhat gross process, it's only rumination that is a direct definition of "chewing cud". P.S. Moo.

I got stuck on the salt one for a while. Tried "distillation" and "crystalisation"...I guess I was thinking too much of chemistry.

Honest suggestion: Abortion for birth control?

abortion terminates a pregnancy while birth control prevents a pregnancy, getting the pill/ iud while you are pregnant will not remove the fetus.

I see that listed on the Wikipedia page but I can't find it in a dictionary. I think if we accept something as a "word" it needs to be in a dictionary or word list.
