This entry appears to be focused in probability spaces, but it's the only reference for a.e., so I think it would be better not mentioning the "probability 1" version until you give the example of a probability space; i.e. you could say

"blah blah almost everywhere in a measure space if it holds eveywhere except in a set of measure zero"

and then give the example and mention that the expression "almost surely" is more common in this case.

By the way, maybe I'm mistaken, but I think the classification is not quite correct; i doubt this qualifies as "logic and foundations". In any case, at least something from measure theory should be included in the classification.
