In a countable set, there are only a finite number
of elements between any two specific elements.
Counterexample: The set of rationals in [0,1] is a countable set, and
there are an infinite number of elements between any two distinct
elements of that set.
Not in the order in which they are countable.

Does TO mean to suggest that there is a linear ordering which makes them
uncountable?

The question of the size of the set of rationals is a little more
complicated than that.

What I have said is that there are sequences which are uncountable.

Under what definition of sequence?
