Your edit to real number poses two (or more?) problems. First, there is the fact that 0.25 = 0.25000000000..., so this does indeed have an infinite decimal expansion. (And you should NOT use the term "finite reals" two refer to those whose decimal expansions are finite, since obviously those whose decimal expansions are infinite are "finite reals" in the usual sense: all real numbers are finite.) Secondly: What sense could it make to say that 1/4 is a real number because its terminating decimal expansion is "potentially" NOT terminating? Michael Hardy (talk) 17:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
