It's even worse than shown in the video. Consider:

sin^2(x) = (sin(x))^2

sin^-1(x) = arcsin(x)

Switching to triangle notation would help remove this confusing overloading of the superscript operator. The only drawback I see with triangle notation is there's no obvious way to type it on a single line.
