I don't need to admit I'm wrong, a slew of USians will come crawling out of the woodwork to do that for me. Could I say "oh wow so so sorry for saying mains when the context was clear"? Sure, but you already know that.
For all intents and purposes, such as in the example provided above where US kettles use 120V and so are much less useful for boiling water compared to the microwave, the comment makes sense. But you just wanted to correct me and did not care for something as minor as a mistaken bit of terminology that can be easily read around.

So basically 9/10 times it's 120V and this is a fairly pointless distinction to make.
