THAT, Aut. , would depend upon what the meaning of "is" is! (or in
this case "real", is)
So can you and nurse Ratched understand that the word "real" can have
not just ONE but SEVERAL meanings each of which can be used as
required?
Numbers are abstractions and hence can never be "real" no matter WHAT
words you use to "define" them!
Fruitcake!
