While your reformulation of the problem is interesting, the initial question
was regarding plaintext/ciphertext pairs, which usually just refers to the
pair
of elements from {0,1}^n, {0,1}^n, where n is the block cipher length.
Think of encrypting n-bit keys....
If you just want to consider the plaintext set to be the subset consisting
of ASCII text in English you should specify so...
