If the "…" means 'repeats without end' here, then saying "there's an 8 after" or "the final 9" is a contradiction as there is no such end to get to.

There are cases where "…" is a finite sequence, such as "1, 2, … 99, 100". But this is not one of them.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
