I created this page in response to two threads I saw and the confusion that arose. Figured it was something worth noting. --BradBeattie 18:58, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

True, the title was a little slap-dash. Thanks for the improvement. --BradBeattie 19:03, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
"In mathematics, one could easily fall in the trap of thinking that while 0.999... is certainly close to 1, nevertheless the two are not equal. Here's a proof that they actually are."
0,999... is irrational and so is the article. Basis on "the proof" that 0.9999...=1 one could argue that irrational is rational which is simply jargon.
- How about ? Might want to take a look at limits.
