Definition talk:Measurable Set

What's the point of suddenly going through and changing all the instances of $S$ with $E$? This site has settled on $S$ for sets. --prime mover 15:18, 22 March 2012 (EDT)

Because the other sections (of the definition page) have $E$ for a set, and I'm not sure why that is. Maybe all instances of "$E$" should be changed to "$S$"? –Abcxyz (talk | contribs) 15:24, 22 March 2012 (EDT)

Good call. Perhaps they should. --prime mover 15:42, 22 March 2012 (EDT)

I would argue that this does not apply everywhere because it is more natural to write eg. $E \in \mathcal E$ and $A \in \mathcal A$ than $S \in \mathcal A$. Bot otherwise, $S$ seems like a natural letter for a set. --Lord_Farin 16:51, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
