Oh, I'm sorry, please, do go back to feeling smart because you can argue that .99999 repeating is equal to one. Here, I'll even pretend not to believe you:

But wait!!! .999999 is obviously not 1, because they're written different. See? One's got 9's, and the other doesn't. Wouldn't that mean that 9 = 1??? I think there's a contradiction in your logic!!!
