Some J expressions in the dictionary require finite numbers and don't necessarily work for infinities. For example, the definition for tolerant equality on the = page applied to _ leads to the result that all finite numbers are tolerantly equal to _ , and was incorrect before the word "finite" was added. A similar correction is required for the | page.
