@claralistensprechen5th I think numbers (real or rational) ought to be grammatically countable when we're talking about a finite number of them. If we're talking about the size of an infinite subset of the real numbers, then I think it sort of does flip over to making sense to talk about those numbers as grammatically uncountable. "Much of the real numbers were contained therein" makes perfect sense to me. But I think this is true of pretty much any infinite set, not just (mathematically) uncountable ones.

in reply to Fred • •Chuckle-worthy but there is a grammatical error. "Rational" and "Real" are adjectives, and numbers ARE countable.

"Much of the real numbers less than one."
