I wished to make the point that Tao uses categorical ideas and perspectives
freely. It would've been better if I'd referred to the specific postings in
which he does so ...

http://terrytao.wordpress.com/2009/10/19/grothendiecks-definition-of-a-group/
http://terrytao.wordpress.com/2009/12/21/the-free-nilpotent-group/

These postings aren't about themselves about category theory, but in them he
exhibits no inhibitions in using categorical language.

Mark Weber
