 Size is the number of elements.

I would say the opposite. The figures representing natural numbers are composed of sub-infinite cardinalities (finite cardinality/number of elements), it is the whole collection which is infinite cardinality (infinite cardinality/size).
This according to the Von Neumann construction of ordinals of course. However, WM simply dismisses out of hand that which he disagrees with, cardinality being one of the things he throws out, yet uses unknowingly in his so-called proofs.
