If you were a kid of the early '00s, you would've listened to Blink-182's hits just about everywhere. But importantly, have you been saying their name right?

We specifically mean the "182" bit in the band's name, which, as per a conversation over Twitter, could be "one-eighty-two" or "one-eight-two."

The observation was brought up by The Late Late Show writer Ian Karmel, who said the British pronounce it, weirdly enough, "one-eight-two."

The British call Blink-182 “Blink One Eight Two” and I’m not saying that’s WHY they lost the Revolutionary War, but... — Karmitzvah (@IanKarmel) November 19, 2018

In America, it's "one-eighty-two."

One eighty-two! — Karmitzvah (@IanKarmel) November 19, 2018

The Late Late Show host James Corden weighed in with, heaven forbid, "one hundred and eighty two."

Don’t start this. I admit we are wrong on this. America calls them Blink One eighty two. Which is also wrong. They technically should be called Blink one hundred and eighty two. Don’t take some moral high ground here. https://t.co/zm2Gpb6xtT — James Corden (@JKCorden) November 19, 2018

The debate got heated.

I’ve always known them as Blink square root of 33,124 — RIch W (@sufferfest) November 19, 2018

If it’s a number it’s one hundred and eighty two, if it’s figures it’s one eight two.



One eighty two just doesn’t exist as an entity in the English language, fam.

The better question is, what happened to the first 181 Blinks? — Bradley 🦃 (@YELDARBfield) November 19, 2018

Original Blink-182 vocalist Tom DeLonge had his say. And well, it gets even murkier.

It’s actually— Blink eighteen-two. People have all gotten this wrong for years. Sometimes this can happen with very complex, thoughtful and elevated art. https://t.co/jmsfv401KF — Tom DeLonge (@tomdelonge) November 19, 2018

If this is all confusing, maybe we should be listening to the band's bassist Mark Hoppus, who said we should be focusing our attention on a far more important issue.

Thank you James. Some say one eighty two. Some say one eight two. But in all of this, I feel like we’ve lost sight of the fact that the B in blink-182 should be lower-case. https://t.co/d3Gi2Ezmhu — stuffing and marked potatoes 🏳️‍🌈 (@markhoppus) November 19, 2018
