Talk:MMH-Badger MAC

I found this line in the article:
 * MMH* = {$$ g_x $$ : $$ F_p^k $$ → $$ F_p $$ | $$ x $$ ϵ $$ F_p^k $$}
 * MMH* = {$$ g_x $$ : $$ F_p^k $$ → $$ F_p $$ | $$ x $$ ϵ $$ F_p^k $$}

I changed it to this:
 * $$ \mathrm{MMH}^* = \{ g_x : F_p^k \rightarrow F_p | x \in F_p^k \} \, $$
 * $$ \mathrm{MMH}^* = \{ g_x : F_p^k \rightarrow F_p | x \in F_p^k \} \, $$

The former format is bizarre and obnoxious, switching back and forth every few characters between TeX and non-TeX notation. The latter is standard use of TeX&mdash;not only within Wikipedia, but in the larger world.

Why would someone write something so obnoxious?
