In other words, substituting infinity for n would be incalculable That’s not how limits work. Substitution is not the same as taking the limit. infinite and infinitesimal numbers are impossible to express rationally. That’s not true at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1/2_%2B_1/4_%2B_1/8_%2B_1/16_%2B_⋯ It’s not about colloquialism or language Having one word (or phrase) with two meanings is a property of language.
