No. My solution is that you, and according to Wikipedia, finance, Sports Statistics, and ESL people add "descriptive statistic" to their vocabulary.
I hear "the average is 7" and until today that means the values summed and divided by the count of values is 7.
So I run with that.
Then when I'm knee deep in shit, you get all weasly and say "what I meant is that the mode was 7".
Because you call mode an average. But to me it's not the average, it's a descriptive statistic called mode.
If you said "the descriptive statistic is 7" I could say immediately "which descriptive statistic" and you would say "mode" and then my course of action wouldn't get me knee deep in shit.
But, to me, your are Weasley and you just pulled the "7 average" out your ass because you can't math.
So you should have said "the mode is 7" or "I flunked basic math, so right here I'm just saying 7, guess what I mean by 7."
I dont know. This whole thing we are talking about feels like it's summarized by the statement: "I am unable to do basic math, but I get paid to do math, so I participate in this weasly little exercise of incorrectly using the word average, and irl, that usually gets the guy who trusted me getting shitcanned and I can still keep saying 'the average is fucked if I know' and I still have my job".
