Pacement: noun. This word has two separate meanings, both very important in the modern world:
1. The cement used on pavements. There is a very special and top secret formula used to make pacement there are only two people on every continent who know the formula and every time a new batch of pacement is to be made, one of them has to come to the location to supervise. This has at times caused problem, espcially in Georgia, where the first pavement was finished in 1999.
2. The process of selecting a pace while walking. Pacement is a professional technique used by speed walkers to help them determine the right speed in order to increase the likelihood of their winning. Pacement was taken under investigation by the International Olympic Committee, whether or not it should be an allowed technique, however the committee realised in time that there was literally nothing they could do about it.
