There is this phrase, often used when describing the decimal expansion of pi - "keeps going infinitely". This phrase is not exactly incorrect, but I wonder if it misleads people into thinking that an "infinite decimal" is "a kind of infinity", which it really isn't in any meaningful way.

I think it absolutely gets confused.

Infinity, the number, is routinely confused with creating an onto function mapping digits of pi to a set with a cardinality of the natural numbers. But sadly most people don't have the mathematical maturity to understand the difference when they encounter their first irrational number (normally pi).
