The figure "7" is a symbol, not a word. It also can be expressed as a word, a unit of language
that can be written and heard. The word is "seven" -- and that word, as well as any other word,
also could be considered a symbol. Seven is a word and 7 is a symbol. Do you got that?
This is as true as the symbol 7 being only a symbol, while what 7 really is is nothing more than
" . . . . . . . "
If we don't assign symbols or words to this quantity, we can not talk about it. When we do talk about it, 7 IS a word. It is the only way we CAN talk about it.
There it is, I just said 7.
Say it with me. 7.

You're falling into the same trap as divegeester on page two comparing decimal and full stop.
Only you've decided Pi and Pie should be the same thing.
There are too many flaws in your assumption to argue, but rest assured... Pi is NOT a dessert.
Originally posted by Very RustyI'd be not the least bit surprised if your brain translates 7 back to " . . . . . . . "

I'd also not be surprised that if I write 1,345,239,554 (one billion, three hundred and forty five million, two hundred and thirty nine thousand, five hundred and fifty four) your head would explode when you imagine that quantity.

NO, just because you got a big head and think you are!
I am use to seeing big numbers when looking at my bank account, are you?

When a Norwegian sees "7" the word "syv" comes to mind.
And when you see "7" you don't say "7" -- you say "seven."
Say it with me. Seven.
