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?

      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?
