I've come to realize that 'exponential' is so often used to describe anything nonlinear. This would be the exact corollary. Good to pick up on it. I'll look out for this too now.

corollary : i've come to learn to ignore writers who use "exponential" incorrectly, to your point.

i realize this makes me picky, but it seems to be reasonable, as that incorrect usage often is a signal of sloppy thought.
