Ways to tell them apart:
- Innumerable emphasizes the large number of items, suggesting that they are too many to be counted easily.
- Endless focuses more on the absence of an end point, suggesting something continuing indefinitely.
- If the focus is on quantity, think innumerable.
- If the focus is on duration or span, think endless.
- You can picture innumerable as a vast number of stars in the sky, while endless could be an endless road extending beyond the horizon.
