Wait a min.

I thought to count was to put into  one to one correspondence with what one is counting using the integers.  This means that there are countable infinities and non countable (de and undenumerable?).
e. gratia.  the integers are obviously countable as are the points on a line -- however the points on a plane are not. -- the integers are used up just counting the points on one of the infinite lines
that comprise the plane.  This is all from G.G 1, 2, 3 Infinity read ca. 1955  He calls these infinities Aleph zero , one, two,  etc.

Hope my mem. serves,

bc
