I'm not an academic, but my understanding was that "significantly" was a synonym for "p<0.05" every time in academic writing. "Significantly" referring to effect size is solely the province of non-academic writing(well, that or things like history).
If only it were that simple. But one of my scripts flags use of significance language, and I have seen many times 'significant' and variants used in scientific writing as meaning important or large.
Sigh. People suck sometimes.
