I like the terms 'orthogonal', 'diagonal' and 'triagonal' for the
directions of 1-axial, 2-axial and 3-axial in cubic space. They have the
same syllabic beat. They are sufficiently different to avoid confusion
with one another. And they make a nice matching set.
I plan to continue to use them. Even if a few might think this 'wrong'
or 'un-educated'. I know what they mean, and many others do also. I
quess we will just have to tolerate those who are unable to accept them.
