Actually, yes. :)

Suppose the stock market is dropping 10 points a day for a month. Then 
on day 32 it drops 11 points, then on day 33 it drops 12 points, on day 
34 it drops 13 points. It's dropping (decreasing) at an increasing rate.

When something increases at the same rate, velocity is constant, 
acceleration is 0. When velocity increases, acceleration is > 0. When 
velocity decreases, acceleration is < 0.

And when acceleration increases.... well, that may be more than we all 
want to discuss right now. :)
