Yes. I think so. Just because there are systematic names the superfunctions and their inverses, doesn't mean existing terms stop being used. The term "superlogarithm" and exponential-logarithm are synonyms now (I also support "tetralogarithm" but have been using "superlogarithm" to distinguish from the 4th polylogarithm). Also, take ethylene for example, its systematic name is "ethene" but no respectable chemist uses the systematic name.
