    But numbers outnumber words when putting them together.. There's infinity numbers, but what, say, 100-200 words? Numbers all the way




    P.S: Stating there are only 100-200 words is an exaggeration, obviousment.

    If there are an infinite number of numbers then by the same logic there are an infinite number of words.

    I read a thing recently which suggested that the idea of there being an infinite amount of numbers is really a bit pointless and in fact childless. The whole, but you can just keep adding 1 argument.

    Indeed there's little or no point in anything more than a googolplex.

    I tried to get my head around Set Theory the other week. All that 'infinite number of infinities' and the like.

    I had to go and lie down. True story.

    Anyone who even tries to get their head round that deserves a migraine.

    That would kind of depend on which one and whether you were using the abridged version. Most people are familiar with shorter or concise versions. This is what a dictionary really looks like.

    Ideas usually have children?



    On topic - There can't be infinity words. You can't just add letters into existing words to form infinity other words like you can with numbers. There are only so many words you can create.. Pure logic.

    Counting to ten does help before saying what is on your mind.
