$\begingroup$ +1 Certainly some statisticians have used the terms in the OP's question (and not always perfectly consistently with others using the same words). I think the terms you use are becoming more common but I'm not sure on what basis we could guess at their relatively worldwide usage among statisticians -- papers, for example, don't necessarily help because the average statistician won't be actively publishing. You may be right -- but how would we know? [If you happen to edit again, you may want to replace "standarized" near the end with "standardized".] $\endgroup$
