This is one thing that irritates me about a tool I work with: It has built-in functions to calculate a median and to calculate an average, by which it means the arithmetic mean. I tend to use the median because the data I work with has severe outliers skewing the mean, but then I have to explain what that means (heh).

So they would be the mode of the mean below the median?
