I think this is mostly a US thing. Why use yearly salary? You’re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense.
“I’m making 50k”. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?
Depends on the currency.
Did you just assume my ¥der?
That was funnier than it should have been
The exchange rate is pretty good right now.
Not in basically all of the English speaking world. USD, CAD, AUS, Pounds, Euros, NZD. 50k a month or week or whatever you for some reason think it might be other than a year would be an insane amount of money to make.
I bet you’re the kind of person that hates it when you ask the time and people respond by rounding it to the nearest 10 minutes…
Not really. It’s usually obvious from context. Unless you’re trying to be an intentionally obtuse pedant?

We’re on the Internet, how should anyone know what’s “your” currency?

Chill, don’t be upset… we’re all civil here. I’m talking about a situation where someone shares their salary e.g. here on Lemmy. Then you’d have no clue what’s their country and what’s the currency they mean. There are plenty of other examples where currency is not obvious if you don’t state it clearly, or have enough context to know it from that.
In that context, the person would state the currency since they know that others may not know. If no currency is stated then they just mean USD because only US people think they’re the center of the world.
Foreign to whom?
