The median is an average.

  A lot of people interpret average as meaning "mean". Really average is a stupid ambiguous word that should never be used. Be clear: say mean or median, but never average.

    >Finally, 50% of any group are below average. Yes, language is ambiguous. However, people arguing over the clarity of the above statement is just nerdy pedantry.

      I think you meant to say "pedantic nerdery".
