Please stop saying gravity when you mean G forces. There is nowhere in our known universe where gravity isn’t a factor. The reason you can experience 0 G forces in orbit is BECAUSE of gravity. You’re free falling to earth constantly because it’s pulling you in.

0G’s is what you need want to say. Also microgravity is appropriate because it’s “low apparent gravitational forces.”

It's honestly disrespectful to assume people don't already understand this. And that they aren't simply using a commonly understood shorthand to convey a simple idea. It's not a failure of their intelligence but rather of your ability to give people the grace they need to communicate an idea

I didn’t degrade intelligence, just asking if we can stop using because it doesn’t help others who aren’t in the science space. I’m saying this in an open forum. Many people that say it do not understand this. They think that gravity is just absent. I was giving some context to help others.

Hope this helps others! :)
