Re: 0.999...=1

OK Lets use Nobody's fraction 1/9.

Now 1/9~.1111and if you keep carrying this out never stoping you'll always have another.1 to get it a bit closer, but being infinite it's never going to end and at no point because there is no end point to infinity will it ever =.111... It will always be a very very close approximation.
