Thank you Tony.
Up that certainly clears everything. [I'm now keeping an eye out for the
grammar police.]

To those with sufficient knowledge of statistics to distinguish between/among
[take your pick] *average*, *median*, and *mode*, my apologies for the common
[mis]use of the word *average*. Perhaps *generally* is the word I should have
used.
I promise to be more careful in future.

P.S. What I wrote was <<Because, on average, we have two legs.>> Note the
parenthesis. When I wrote *we*, I was not writing about *most people*, I was
writing of humankind.
