> Mathematicians will take a moment denigrate Geometric Algebra as "linear algebra with a uselessly nonstandard notation", ignoring that we should prefer a less awkward way of structuring linear algebra than "pseudoscalars" and "pseudovectors".

I have never heard a mathematician using the terms "pseudoscalar" and "pseudovector". These rather seem to be common terms among physicists.
