How? The set of French texts is countable and the set of reals is uncountable.
- gerdesj 10y ago0,1,2 etc are French words. All reals are French words 8)
- jawarner 10y agoThis is not true, no French word has an infinite length. Any set of finite strings is countable.
- Retra 10y agoNot all French texts need be finished either. Nobody his picked a date boundary to constrain all French text. Nor has anyone formalized which texts are French, since the French language is evolving.
