nope, it is slightly oblong so it has more of an egg shape than a perfect sphere
if you are talking about the general concept of "round" then yes, I 100% believe it is round

No, I totally disagree with that statement. The Earth is three dimensional and round is two dimensional. The Earth is an oblate spheroid since is almost a sphere but it is flattened at the poles and it bulges at the equator.

the earth is not completely round.
It is an oblate sphere. The diameter at the equator is greater than at the poles
Isaiah 40:22 in the Bible mentions the "the circle of the earth" implying a circular shaped earth.

I perfectly agree that the Earth is not perfectly round, and that sounds like a perfectly good description to me of the shape of this imperfect world.

The earth is almost an oblate spheroid. The earth is round in its looks.

The textbook definition of the shape of the Earth is a "slightly oblate spheroid".

It's actually somewhat pear-shaped (wider in the middle) due to the spin of the earth.
