It is related to the word infamy. Humorists have for a couple of centuries jokingly used the word in a positive sense but the effectiveness of the joke depends on the listener knowing that this is a misuse of the term. Because this is a very old joke indeed you should stick to using infamous only of people like Hitler and Billy the Kid. Notorious means the same thing as infamous and should also only be used in a negative sense.

So few are the literal uses of infinite that almost every use of it is metaphorical. There are not an infinite number of possible positions on a chessboard nor number of stars in the universe. Things can be innumerable in one sense of the word without being infinite in other words things which are beyond the human capacity to count them can still be limited in number. Infinite has its uses as a loose synonym for a very great many but it is all too often lazily used when one doesn t want to do the work to discover the order of magnitude involved. When you are making quasi-scientific statements you do a disservice to your reader by implying infinity when mere billions are involved.
