I don’t think there’s anyone out there who doesn’t know how averages and medians work, but thanks for telling us. I believe the person you’re replying to was just being sloppy with terminology, as is very common. Their point still stands.
Wow, where do you work? Where do you live? Have you not have a conversation with a member of the general public? There are people who can barely read. Not understanding statistics and averages is pretty common, and doing a quick summary to make sure everyone is on the same page is pretty good communication.

I’ll say I didn’t know “average” could also mean median and mode as another comment pointed, maybe I wouldn’t have commented then.
It’s common to be confused over statistics, as they aren’t very intuitive, so I just wanted to clarify for whoever needs it.
