There is a school of thoughtโ€”letโ€™s call it the School of Hard Knocksโ€”that thinks itโ€™s 7. Hard Knocks means counting is lower on the list of priorities. I can see how they might stop at 7.

Another, and more accurate for multiple reasons, school of thoughtโ€”letโ€™s call it the School of Rockโ€”has it at 8. Iโ€™m part of the latter because itโ€™s right.

Letโ€™s get scientific with this shit, though. Here is what it looks like written out.

Nick Nick Nick Nick Ni(ck)Nick Nick Nick Nickelodeon = 8

Some of you out here act like you never learned how to round up in school. Or didnโ€™t learn that under almost no circumstances do you round down when the number is five or higher. So even if you read it like this:

Nick Nick Nick Nick Ni-Nick Nick Nick Nickelodeon = 7.5

7.5 always rounds up to 8.

Either way, the shit is not 7. Stop it. It donโ€™t math right.

Cut that shit out.
