(after reading the above, from now on when I post on a forum "+1!" I'm gonna post "+0.9999999999999!" just to piss people off / live life at Nerd Level: Ultimate )

You would be incorrect in doing so, the correct post would be "+0.9999999999999...!"

If you're not going to use the correct indicator to show that the digits repeat unto infinity, then you're nothing but a math hipster trying to look nerd-cool.  I would have also accepted a line over the last 9 to indicate its repeating status, but that's hard to post in these forums.

I should put that on an ironic t-shirt so that people can wear it un-ironically.
