Yes, 240V is available and you are right, never was not the right word. However, despite 240V being available, the plug is still wired to make 2 separate 120V circuits (the plug now....). You have to do special wiring from the breaker box to the appliance to make use of anything other than 120V.
OK. This phraseology I agree with. :B I know it is knitpicky, but imprecision in electrical work with people who don't really know what they are doing can be dangerous. My objection was that your previous phraseology made it sound like the 50a outlet was 120v, and I don't want the average homeowner who thinks "Duh, I can do that" to misunderstand.
