let 0.9(rec) = x
100x = 99.9(rec)
100x-x = 99
99x=99
x=1

0.9(rec) = 1

"every real number is larger than a rational therefore there are no infinitesimals in the reals."

That doesn't make sense.  1 is a real number, and it is not greater than the rational number 2.  Even if it were true, it says nothing about infinitesimals.

For every real number, I can pick a smaller rational number.
For every rational number, I can pick a smaller real number.

The rest of what you said is true.

Not "every real is larger than EVERY rational", dum-dum.

"EVERY real number is larger than A rational therefore..."

I didn't quite interpret that correctly.  The statement is still false since such a rational does not exist.

Unless I'm still failing at interpreting, and he just means "For any real number R, there exists a rational number Q such that R > Q"

Idiot.

Lets put it more simply

99  1        (99 cant equal 1)
100 = 99
/////////////////
Above are your variable you must insert them in one "mathematical sentence" if you cant why dont you just do this simple equation

1 = 0 OH SHI- DOESNT WORK
1 = 0 +1 *fixed

Marijuana MUST be legalized.
