i forget sometimes that i am majoring in math and i expected this post to read:
"you can't argue that 0 is neither on the basis that it is not a real number because 0 is an element of the real numbers"

whenever this question comes up, someone always asks "who cares?"
0 (number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
i care

Evenness of zero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
