Not Large = Small?

[edit]

I've got a stack of a dozen papers on my desk, all of which are on this topic in some way or another. Not a single one uses the term "small set" to indicate "not large." Just because the English-language "opposite" of large is small doesn't mean that this should generalize to precise mathematical terminology, even if it does often in other contexts. I've removed the use of the term "small" because it is not appropriate (OR, perhaps). --Cheeser1 16:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
