SUMMARY
The usual metric defined on R - {0} is indeed a valid metric space, as it satisfies all the necessary metric conditions. However, it is important to note that this space is not complete because it does not include all of its limit points. The discussion references the properties of metric spaces, emphasizing the implications of removing the point 0 from the real numbers.
