| Comments: | Let me try this again. If you search "stock exponential", there are many expressions like "exponential growth of stock price". This is so commonly used that its definition is found in any English dictionary apart from mathematical term. On Japanese side, "株価 加速度的" will find things like "株価の加速度的な上昇". Those two are the most common expression on both language to describe any kind of curb which is more than linear growth. |

| Comments: | I don't think a colloquial misuse of a technical term should be included as a gloss. |

| Comments: | While mathematically exact translation of exponential is 指数的、in English exponential is used as layman's term to mean "more and more rapidly", which matches 加速度的 in Japanese. |
