Hello Postmark,

 

Thank you for the information and now when I'm called a jerk

I can look or sound confused asking what does going from 0G

to 1G or more have to do with the subject.

 

Of course the flip of the coin is that I'll have to use a different

term when someone does what I consider to be something

wrong like pass my car in a no passing zone. Okay, in

addition to using profanity at times.

It appears that the proper term for this is "the jerk".
No, really, just in case the website I looked on was a spoof, I checked the ISO 2041 document:
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:2041:ed-3:v1:en
and jerk is the rate of change of acceleration.
There is some suggestion that over here in the UK, the term "jolt" is an acceptable alternative and too my ears that would sound better...
(Personally, I was expecting the term "impulse" but it seems that the engineers objected.)
