Abstract = {We study the extension of Monadic Second Order logic with the ``for almost all'' quantifier {\$}{\$}{\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}{\$}{\$} whose meaning is, informally, that {\$}{\$}{\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}X.{\backslash}phi (X){\$}{\$} holds if {\$}{\$}{\backslash}phi (X){\$}{\$} holds almost surely for a randomly chosen X. We prove that the theory of {\$}{\$}{\backslash}mathrm {\{}MSO{\}}+{\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}{\$}{\$} is undecidable both when interpreted on {\$}{\$}({\backslash}omega ,<){\$}{\$} and the full binary tree. We then identify a fragment of {\$}{\$}{\backslash}mathrm {\{}MSO{\}}+{\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}{\$}{\$} , denoted by {\$}{\$}{\backslash}mathrm {\{}MSO{\}}+{\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}{\\_}{\backslash}pi {\$}{\$} , and reduce some interesting problems in computer science and mathematical logic to the decision problem of {\$}{\$}{\backslash}mathrm {\{}MSO{\}}+ {\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}{\\_}{\backslash}pi {\$}{\$} . The question of whether {\$}{\$}{\backslash}mathrm {\{}MSO{\}}+{\backslash}forall ^{\{}=1{\}}{\\_}{\backslash}pi {\$}{\$} is decidable is left open.},
