In the ordinary topology on infinite subsets, the family D of cofinite sets is a countable set, a dense and a meagre set. Countability follows by indexing its members by their finite complements. Each singleton is closed with empty interior, while every basic cylinder with finite initial segment s contains s∪{n:n>maxs}. Consequently D is not a nowhere dense set. This example uses the ordinary cylinder topology, rather than the Ramsey cone topology.
