Corrected grammar.

May 2, 2016 at 14:33 comment added Gideon Schechtman Consider the subset of $M_1$ consisting of the (non decreasing) functions which take constant values in $\{0,1/n,2/n,\dots,1\}$ on each interval $((i-1)/n,i/n)$. There is a finite number of such functions and each function in $K$ and thus in $M_1$ is of distance at most $2/n$ from one of these functions. To prove the last claim note that each function in $K$ intersects at most $2/n$ of the $n^2$ $1/n\times 1/n$ squares of the natural $1/n$ grid. (I'm not very precise about the constant 2 above...)
May 2, 2016 at 13:58 comment added Nate Eldredge I am having trouble seeing why $M_1, M_2$ are compact. Can you elaborate?
