Uh, Brad dear, speed and accelerate are synonyms.

Fast

No, they're not. Accelerate can be used to mean, "slow down" as well as "speed up."

Accelerate

ac·cel·er·ate

1. go faster

    to move increasingly quickly, or cause something to move faster

2. progress faster

    to happen or develop faster, or cause something to happen or develop faster

3. increase velocity

    physics to cause an increase in the velocity of something, or experience an increase in velocity



To continue... Sluggish.
Seclusion among the ferns of what seems like a mystical forest by flourishing elms and and oaks. Looking up at twilight's dwellings up above, where the stars sit on their perches to await dawn... That lunar crescent forever hangs there, just another star that seems so much closer, half covered by what you sit upon right then. That is a true paradise. Just to let yourself escape to those divine heavens...

Brad is right, actually. You can have negative acceleration.
