Actually, I know an awful lot about physics.


So much that you mix up speed and velocity? LOL!

In everyday's language, the word velocity stands for the _magnitude_ of
the vector.

Nope. Not even at high school. The magnitude is "speed".

Now if you want me to realise outside some technical or
scientific environment that you use the word velocity in the vector
sense, you better say so explicitely.

Gosh, this isn't a technical forum? Was my post not including
"technical" terms like acceleration?

Still easier would be to say
"direction".

What does "flying with the wind" imply to you, a direction or a speed?
I'd say the former but I'm only a native English speaker.
