Does "for almost each object" make sense in this example?

29 Views Asked by At

In the 2nd paragraph at Kolmogorov complexity, these is the following sentence.

"In particular, for almost each object it is not possible to compute even a lower bound for its Kolmogorov complexity ..."

Does for almost each object have a particular mathematical meaning. Am I missing something, this does not appear to me, to be good English grammar, in the context where it is used?

I think you are right about the grammar. The appropriate mathematical phrase would be "for almost every object" or even better, "almost all objects". So I suggest you edit the wikipedia page to make the change..

"Almost all" has a precise meaning you don't need to know to get the grammar right. For example, almost all real numbers are irrational.

Edit: Noting the comment from @dbx , I wonder whether it's worth fixing grammar on a page that seems to need a lot more fixing.
