I was hoping someone could help clarify. Does uniformly increasing velocity also mean linearly increasing velocity?

I found terms where it used uniform exponential. So I'm confused as to whether the word "uniform" used alone would also refer to a linear change.

What is the context?
 
Oh apologies. It for the basic one dimensional motion. Would it be correct for this statement "the velocity increases uniformly" to also mean that the increment is linear?
 
In other words, the acceleration is constant. Yes, I think it does mean that.
