We define symmetric continuity for functions defined on arbitrary subsets of R. The main result is that when a symmetrically continuous function is defined on a measurable set (a set with the Baire property) then it is continuous almost everywhere (on a residual set, respectively). This generalizes the known result for functions defined on the whole real line.
