What people don't understand is that, one way or another, you are constantly feeling a force of 9.8m/s squared acting on you and everything around you. Your body evolved in those conditions, and so is used to it. When you experience weightlessness, you are in a state where the net forces acting on your body equal zero. If you've ever felt that way, you know it's very weird, anc occasionally sickening.
Arguments trying to discern between gravitation and acceleration will ultimately fail, because the gravitational force posited by Einstein acts on you the exact same way the acceleration force of FE lore does. Trying to differentiate between the two is a misunderstanding of the argument.
So, to answer the first post, you do feel the "acceleration" of the earth. Whether it's FE's constant velocity change, or RE's Einsteinian explanation, the effects on people are identical either way.
