I didn’t intend to mock the average American Joe, it’s just that the question doesn’t make sense and I’m curious of what they wanted to know, or if I’m the one missing something.
It’s normally worded “the average American makes $x a year.” Who is the average American? That should actually be worded “the average American salary is $x.” That’s actually what’s being discussed. Assuming we continue the same trend in language, the OP is correct. You’re also correct, but they’re saying the same thing as you, just with the poor word choice from the other things.
Wouldn’t that just be the modal salary?
I’m not sure I understand why you questioned it, but no.
He saids it is the American modal salary. The modal salary of all salaries is probably in Chinese Yuan, if that’s what you’re asking.
US citizens when you say that
“Wait… People don’t use USD everywhere???”
(After working at a currency exchange counter outside the USA, I can confirm that it’s not that unusual a reaction from US tourists…)

It was a lot of words to say, yes, there are common things.
