It can be aleph-naught, aleph-zero, or aleph-null, see [1]. I always use aleph-null personally, as I think most people (in the United States?) do today and agree that other versions sound a bit weird, but that doesn't make them incorrect. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number -Aris On

You could look at comparing the real component only (which would give it a size of 0), or perhaps taking the modulus (which would give it a size of 1). I'd suggest withdrawing it lest you meet the same fate as Cuddlebeam, though. On 2018-02-09 11:34, Gaelan Steele wrote: Still leaves my bid
