But by convention (we think -except WM that is- that) "LLLLLLLL....." DENOTES (refers to) an infinite sequence of "L"s. :-P
We all know that "LLLLLLLL....." refers to an infinite sequence. But there are only countably finite expressions. More is not available to refer to infinite sequences.

Do you know that the natural numbers are infinite, yet countable?

Oh, and thanks for using only three dots for your ellipsis.
