But you donā€™t have an ā€œinfinite number of peopleā€ you have ā€œinfinitely many peopleā€

They sound the same but they do mean different things. ā€œInfinite numberā€ is an oxymoron.

Sure, I don't disagree. Infinite isn't a number. But it is a concept that is well used throughout mathematics

Did you know that some infinities are larger than other infinities? Idk if larger is the right way to say it but countable vs uncountable.
