  • @MikeR What would be the proof of that? Do you know of a sequence in which every element is a single sentence and such that their number of words is not bounded? Not attempting to prove you wrong, I just got interested about the claim that you made, but don't have yet an actual proof.

  • @mama There are all kinds of grammatical sentences that contain infinite words. "If I wanted to say a word an infinite number of times, I would say a,a,a,a,a,a,a,a...."; "I love my dog and my dog loves me and I love my dog and my dog loves me and..."; "The universe is a great place; it's got aardvarks and aardwolves and Aargau and Aaron and AARP and..."
