Have you ever had an experience which, indeed, as it was happening, went into "slow motion" for you?

    That all strikes me as sort of funny at the moment.

    In high school I had algebra as my last class.  On Fridays, that 45 minute class easily took 5 hours.  No, seriously, I fell off a ladder once.  On the way down I had time to think, "Hmm.  I've never broken a bone before.  Well, first time for everything." all in a split second.  I landed on my side and didn't break anything.

    Interesting - - some of the similar experiences that go to slow motion.

      Back in 2004, I was in a one-car rollover accident due to skidding on an icy road.   From the exact split second that my mind conceptualized that the car was going to roll over, and that there was absolutely nothing I could do to stop it from happening, everything seemed to go into slow-motion mode.  Approximately three seconds later (real time), I was upside down and still strapped into the seat belt, and everything went back to normal speed.

    Yes, that is similar to how I experienced my going off the bridge.

    (And should I have "into" instead of "in to," as in my question? I have trouble remembering the usage for those two instances. I don't have a hyphen for "slow-motion," either! Ha!)

    :)

      (into)

    My use of the hyphen is incorrect in that context. If the next word is a noun, and the two-phrase describes that noun, then the hyphen is required.

    Thank you.

    No, thank you!
    I was unsure of either the "into" or "slow-motion." I wasn't correcting you on the "slow-motion."
    :)

    But, thanks, I fixed my question's wording!

      Yes, I know you weren't correcting me, it's just that by you bringing it up as a question, I realized when I started to answer that mine was the incorrect usage of the hyphen.

    [I have just edited my post by adding the noun "mode".]
