| Dec 15, 2010 at 17:41 | comment | added | Kevin O'Bryant | I've never seen the hat notation; in which field is it standard? I often encounter the set of sets with one element removed, which can be intelligently denoted by $\binom{A}{|A|-1}$. | |
| Dec 15, 2010 at 10:52 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | The notation is a bit annoying when applied twice, if we have to skip the j- term of the sequence where the i-term has been skipped. | |

| Dec 14, 2010 at 2:59 | comment | added | Thierry Zell | Too long? Seriously?... $$ $$ I obviously have trouble understanding how you can feel so strongly about this notation. But I guess it depends on what you intend to do with it. But as Mariano points out, unless you can come up with a good alternative, your readers will not thank you. | |

| Dec 14, 2010 at 1:15 | comment | added | ε-δ | Why I hate it: (1) it is too long; (2) it has no sense (unless you know the meaning you will never guess what is it). | |
| Dec 13, 2010 at 22:26 | comment | added | Dr Shello | I love that notation! Is there a context in which it would be used but is problematic? | |

| Dec 13, 2010 at 18:39 | comment | added | Pietro Majer | Yes, actually I would have tried to convince the OP to give up his\her hate. The \hat notation is nice. It recalls me the \phantom command in TeX! | |

| Dec 13, 2010 at 17:57 | comment | added | Mariano Suárez-Álvarez | That's a very standard notation... why introduce another? "I hate it" is not a great reason to do that to your readers! | |
