That's the right answer.

A more intuitive way to show it might be:

"One plus one is two. One plus two is three. One plus three is four . . ."


It is NOT infinite with the condition that bguyj added that sentences must be of length 100 words or less. As someone else pointed out above the number of possible sentences is then bounded by (W+1)^100 where W is the number of words in the English language. This is a fairly loose bound, but finite nonetheless.[/quote]

Each of those sentences only has 5 words, so it fits the 100 word criteria.
