The mode human body contains enough bones to make an entire skeleton. The average human body doesn't have enough.

The additional ~200 bones from fetuses in late stage pregnant woman would be more than the missing bones from amputees etc. OPs statement is accurate.
- Wouldn’t they be too small though?
- You can’t use one unfused half-bone in place of one full bone >:(
- Actually, OP's statement is still wrong because there are more bones than 1 entire skeleton on average.
The word average can technically refer to arithmetic mean, median, mode, or range. That's why you were probably taught them at the same time. That's also why tests like the ACT tend to have a * at the top that says something along the lines of "Unless otherwise stated, the word average indicates arithmetic mean."
- I have never in my life seen it refer to anything but the mean
Actually, the average human body contains more than one skeleton.
- This depends entirely on how many people there are out there with missing limbs.
Different perspective: Even if you miss a limb your body contains the full 100% of the skeleton you can find in a person missing that limb.

There still complete human beings even if their body has a unique challenge.
- I appreciate what you're saying here - people come in all shapes and sizes, with different abilities, limb counts, etc. Every one is a human being deserving respect and dignity.
  
  But OP didn't say "a complete human being" - it said "a complete human skeleton."
  
  If an individual is missing a limb, by birth or by accident, they don't have a complete skeleton. It's a plain fact. Doesn't mean they are any less human.
Are infinitesimally shaved average bones not bones? Idk who is the bone authority responsible for making that decision.
- There are a lot of people missing bones, but I don’t think anyone has extra, so….

No it doesn't, because some people are missing limbs or ribs or have artificial joints. So the average body would have slightly fewer bones than necessary to make a whole skeleton.

Pregnant women would increase the average to greater than one complete skeleton per person.
- But are those bones in the body of the pregnant woman, or is the body of the fetus a different set?
- Oh, don't forget conjoined twins.
I was gonna say: who is out there rocking extra bones?
- There's mutations and hereditary conditions that give you extra bones

Probably false, the avarage probably has a bit less then needed fo a full skeleton.

I'm quite sure it's more, since some individuals contain multiple sets.
- Its gonna be some stupid number, like 1.0777655678 skeletons per adult, on average. Even considering twins and triplets and quad amputees

Despite all the "AKcHUaLLy" comments this is probably true.

If the body has 206 bones and the global average is like 205.7, a bone that is even partially complete is still a bone, and it is probably so close to 206 that the missing parts are negligible and distributed across the skeleton anyway. Think about it, how many people do you know that are missing an appendage or a bone by defect? I bet it's less than 0.5% of everyone you know.

Take my upvote.

I have 2 neighbours is missing a leg, and a family friend missing a finger. I am one of the outliers.
- Did these people lose their limbs before or after they met you?
- That is a lot of missing bones. How many people would you estimate that you know though? I went to a small high school and I bet out of 500 total I knew 300 just from school. There are lots of family and coworkers and stuff that drive that number pretty high even if you know some amputees.
But it still wouldn't be an entire human skeleton, as there's more to a skeleton than just the number of bones.
- So by this logic, if you age and develop arthritis you no longer possess a complete human skeleton?
You've finally done it. You out-akchuallied the pedantic nerds, becoming, yourself, the final gatekeeper of pedantry

I feel like there should be a joke in here about giving someone’s mom an extra bone last night

HOW???!!! How is that possible? I blame illuminati for this.

Big (body) if true

Not true, average is higher than 1 entire skeleton.
- You sure? I think it might be lower considering lost limbs and so. Pregnancies would raise it but pregnancy is temporary while lost limbs tend to be permanent.

technically, because noone has a higher amount of bones but many people have less, this is false.

Some people have additional bones.
- that is true, but most of these would either be worse for building a skeleton because they deform other bones or do nothing because theyre just extra bits that wouldnt help anyway (in case its a disjointed bone)
Late stage pregnant woman have a higher amount of human bones
- finally someone that doesnt just tell me there is a very rare disease that creates a single extra bone
  
  anyway yeah if you count pregnant women the average skeletons in a human body is more than one
What about that one horrible disease where your muscles start turning into extra bones?
- Rarer than getting a synthetic hip or being born without wisdom teeth, for example
- those bones dont help much in making a skeleton
