Regarding the claim that every finite sum is an infinite series with trailing zeros, that's not accurate. Finite sums are complete in themselves and don't involve the notion of trailing zeros.

Accusatory remarks dissipate when we recognize that:
1/3 = 0.1 [radix 3].

If the indicated series has a sequence of partial sums which converge.

Otherwise we can still view it as a formal series.

Sure, but consider the sequence (1,1,1,1,1,1,...) and the summation of
this infinite sequence, called the series, has the sequence of partial
sums (1,2,3,4,...) which is not convergent to some limit in the reals.

The ellipsis generally means to continue the pattern, which may or may
not be an obvious pattern or even convergent to some real number.

Right. When you deal with idiots, they simply make up stories. Truth and common sense is irrelevant.

The infinite continued fraction for the golden ratio is:

[1; 1,1,1,1,1,1, ...]

No, that's not what it means. It means a limit. If the series is not convergent it doesn't mean anything. There are ways to define it so that it is still meaningful, but generally a series that does not converge is left UNDEFINED.

No, not really. Ellipsis can mean "and so on". For a sum, we indicate it is finite like this:

a1 + a2 + ... + an

If there is no last term, we usually mean a limit.

No. It does not mean 'limit' at all and you were given the correct answer by FromTheRafters.

It does mean a limit. If no last term is indicated, the sum is infinite.

"We" are mathematicians and everyone besides you (that have different definitions).

If it appears at the end of a positional notation representation of a
real number, then yes, because that is what real numbers are. Infinity
is not a real number (not in the set) and therefore a sequence tending
toward infinity is not convergent in R.

It is the sequence of partial sums of the series that needs to be
convergent.

> it doesn't mean anything.

One of those things it doesn't mean is limit, unless you extend your
set to include infinities. This is why you often see "the limit, if it
exists" instead of just "the limit" in various write-ups.

Then the sequence of partial sums of constant sequence
(1,1,1,1,1,1,...) the series (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+...) AKA the natural
numbers is/are undefined?

You can't convince a crank. Klyver is fact proof and reason resistant.

One simply solution is to say that 1+1+1+1... simply doesn't mean anything, since the sum diverges. The partial sums may have a meaning, but not the infinite sum. The infinite sum is a limit, and since the limit does not exist it doesn't make sense to give the sum a meaning either.

So: partial sums - have meaning. The whole sum - no meaning, since it is the limit. And it doesn't exist.

n never reaches infinity, just tends towards it
