accelerar

An old/nonstandard spelling with a double c — the correct modern Spanish spelling is acelerar (single c), since Spanish never doubles c before e/i the way English or French sometimes do. You'll occasionally see accelerar as a typo influenced by English 'accelerate.'

• El coche acelera rápido en la autopista. — The car accelerates quickly on the highway.
• Necesitamos acelerar el proceso de entrega. — We need to speed up the delivery process.
• No aceleres tanto en la curva. — Don't accelerate so much on the curve.

Always write it with a single c — acelerar, never accelerar — this is purely a spelling error, not a valid variant.
