I perfectly get what you're saying, I just don't agree with the rule that .999... = 1 because in my head it doesn't, it equals .999... It's kind of like identical twins. They are essentially the same, same genetic makeup and all, but they are not the same person.I agree with Allison on this and not because she is the hottest chick on the board, here is my example. When I want to order something at McDonalds I will say something along these lines, "I would like the #1 Value meal with a Coke." I do not say "I would like the #.999 Value meal with a Coke."
^so what, that doesn't have anything to do with it, 1 is easier to say, just like 1/2 is the preferred representation of 256/512.
