Is 0 considered a term in mathematics? I know it is considered a number and numbers are included in the definition of a term, but here's what happens if I consider 0 a term.
If I were to say 7 - 7 = 0 has 3 terms, then I should also be able to say that 7 - 7 = 0 + 0 has four terms, and in fact, despite not being able to see them, there could hypothetically be an infinite number of zero terms on either or both sides of the equation, meaning I could say that any equation, including 0 = 0, has an infinite number of terms in it.

You're confusing an equation (which is just a sequence of written characters) with its meaning. '0=0' and '0=0+0' are two different equations even though they are logically equivalent.

The word "nothing" is the only word in the English language that does not refer to anything. If you give it attributes it becomes something else. Like 0, nothing that can be put into an mathematical equation. So that.

This.
OP, terms are a *syntactic* notion. They are not something that occurs in mathematical properties; they are something that occurs in mathematical *descriptions* of properties, in the form of equations and inequalities and the like.

0 is a number. Stop trying to inject your pseudo philosophical bullshit into it.
