Ted sez: "32 ft/sec^2 "near" Earth's surface in vacuum"

Forget the vacuum, Ted. Acceleration is independent of ambient conditions.
*Terminal velocity* is related to the medium through which a body
"accelerates". Acceleration varies slightly with altitude (on earth) with
32 ft sec-sec being the accepted figure for sea level.
