I'm changing it to a symbol next week. Don't think about ever using it though. My lawyers see everything ;)
"infinitely small amount"doesn't mean anything, really. What you do is say that it's 1-e where e is really small and then let e tend to zero, say by dividing it by 2 repeatedly. Which in the limiting case of infinite divisions gives you 1.
