Talk:Real number

"Real number" or "real numbers"?

I'd prefer, overall, this article to be at real numbers, rather than at the singular name. After all, unlike ordinal numbers, a single real number does not really have any property that can be expressed without referring to other real numbers, unless the (non-standard) choice of which construction to use is made.

(Note I accidentally started the other article before I noticed the singular article had already been copied over. I'm now not sure which one to turn into a redirect.)

Thoughts?
