Can't really say "most" as there isn't much between the results.

I also did a search, but seems I did 0.999 in my search

It can be proved using more methods than some which aren't even debated within mathematics, so yes.
It's incredibly simple; subtract 0.99r from 1, and you get 0.00r, which is equal to 0. Hence, they're the same number. QED.
And yes, I have a maths degree, so you're not allowed to disagree with me unless you do also.

colourful pens aside, 0.999r doesnt have "the exact same value" as 1
It does.
Her first example
.999r = x
9.999r = 10x
Then she does -.999r on both sides, but no matter how far you repeat it, at the end it will be 1, they just round it down to suit their argument.
10 - .999r doesn't equal 9. it'll be an infinitely small number, 9.000r1 Not 9.

They would just say it equals 0.00r1
