I debated whether or not to call it an oblate spheroid like a huge nerd or just use the “earth is round” shorthand that most people are familiar with. While not perfectly round, I think most people would agree an oblate spheroid is a round shape in the general sense.
That was actually what I was getting at - there are too many variables in life. Only go as correct as you need to in the moment, and be understanding when others aren’t precisely correct either.
It is, in fact approximately round - it’s more precisely an oblate spheroid.
I’d say go as accurate as is relevant to the current situation.

(which I think is what you were getting at, too?)
