Yes, if it is deliberate in a "malicious" way.

I would for instance never dream of considering the use of "trump" instead
of the actual name of the trump suit or the word "ruff" as a call for a
small trump to be a violation of Law 46A although technically it sure is a
violation and even a deliberate violation of this law.

If I tried any kind of reaction in such cases I would certainly and
immediately be out of engagements as Tournament Director, at least here in
Norway. (I don't know about Belgium.)
