I believe Tom already addressed this in one of his replies. He said that no matter how small a number you add to 3.99999... you will not get inbetween 3.9999... and 4, but go above four.

Unlike the example gamer gave, this isn't just a set of integers from which there is no number inbetween. This is ALL numbers. There are plenty of numbers inbetween 1 and 2 if you think of the complete set of numbers.

I admit my proof isn't rigorous, but I believe that should be enough proof for most people. If you, SK, think you can improve it, go ahead (or not).
