0.999~ not = 1.

Why, You ask? Take calculus.

It's called limits, as 0.999~ approaches infinite digits, we can declare it as 0.999 infinite, being that there are infinite nines.

Now, if 0.999 really equaled 1, then, and number subtracted from itelf is 0.

1 - 1 = 0

Anyone care to disagree?

But...

1 - 0.999~ = 0.0..01 as it approaches infinite.

You cannot properly multiply radicals 0.33~, 0.66~, 0.99~ by integers without using radians and the sort.

Also...

If done properly, 0.333~ * 3 is actually 1 because there are an infinite amount of three's there.
