That's ridiculous. 0.99999... will NEVER equal 1. Not even potentially
In no world does that make any sense to assert that.
Um, sorry, but it is an actually true statement. The two sides are precisely equal. In every world.
OK, you have just shown your basic ignorance of math (as if you hadn't before).

dude,

2/3 does NOT equal 0.6666666...
3/3 does NOT equal 0.9999999...
you are just staying the same thing. It is wrong for the same reason. There is an infinite amount of 3's, 6's and 9's to the right. So it will NEVER equal the fraction or the whole number.
No, each and every one of those statements is precisely true *if* you understand the meaning of the notation. Clearly you do not.
All I can say is that you have clearly removed yourself from the realm of rationality. If you cannot accept *basic* mathematics, and thereby basic *logic*, we are done.
