:::: Ok, well, I think that's sloppy use of terminology, but I suppose that if they are not considering any possibilities involving sequences of sequences that the sloppiness becomes invisible. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 19:08, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
::::: It is pretty common to say "''S(n)''" while meaning "sequence ''S'' with ''n'' denoting its index", and it's unambiguous.
