g is an accelartion and guess what causes it! gravity! Now I'm sure every student is aware that objects in gravitaional fields don't necessarily accelerate, but it's easy to remember that F = ma and that 'g' just slots into a to create F = mg. IMO describing it as a "universal constant" is X1000 more confusing.
