Adam, making it negative or not depends on your frame of reference! if down is positive, then it's positive, if up is positive, then it's negative :-) to make it really clear we could also write
9.8 m s^-2
where ^ denotes 'to the power of' . I could go on about this for hours...oh dear, i'm a nerd.
I went to the tower and jumped on the glass floor once...it's pretty darn strong! And if you look down at the very bottom there's a giant map of the world in metal in the ground, that you can only really make out through the glass floor.

Just so you guys know what to do when you come to Toronto
;-)
The CN Tower has, if you can believe it, a glass floor on part of the observation deck. It creates an incredible sense of vertigo. I tried NOT to jump up and down when I was doing this ;-)

I alway thought it was -9.8 m/s/s.
Note the "negative" symbol. As long as we're splitting hairs.... ;-)

Neat shot, gives a nice sense of vertigo...
and isn't it awesome how you need no straps for it? :-)

Fun shot, that, but it's titled wrong: should be 9.8 meters/second/second.
And please don't tell me how you did this unless many safely straps were involved!
