Dec 21, 2019 at 1:42 comment added Gerry Myerson Gelbaum & Olmsted, Counterexamples in Analysis, is another go-to book for this kind of question.
Jul 31, 2014 at 8:06 comment added Marcel Besixdouze Is there a measure 0 set which is nowhere meager? Can such a set be Borel?
Apr 14, 2012 at 5:52 comment added David Fernandez-Breton In Canada we spell it "meagre" too!

Oct 25, 2010 at 23:31 comment added Gerald Edgar I see that Wikipedia page has neighbourhood so other UK spellings are not unexpected. But shouldn't it then be Wikipaedia?

Oct 25, 2010 at 17:56 comment added Anton Geraschenko I went with the Wikipedia spelling since that's what I was linking to, but I would normally spell it meager.

Oct 25, 2010 at 15:16 comment added Gerald Edgar Interesting spelling ... my dictionary says (non-math context) US spelling meager and UK spelling meagre. I suppose this goes along with theater/theatre and similar.

Oct 25, 2010 at 5:48 comment added Andrés E. Caicedo Although the question was already answered, you may be interested in this: There is an excellent short little book by Oxtoby, "Measure and Category", where all these "classical" relations between both notions are discussed; you may want to take a look. There are deeper relations and differences, but you need set theory to understand them; a good book to look at is "Set theory: On the structure of the real line", by Bartoszynski and Judah.
