Nope.
Hint: print(len("LLLLLLLL....."))
But by convention
(we think -except WM that is- that)
"LLLLLLLL....." DENOTES (refers to) an infinite sequence of "L"s.

I agree.
It is a very powerful distinction between
the length of an expression and
the length of what the expression refers to.
There are only countably many finite expressions which can refer to real numbers.
