Stricto sensu this is undefined, as the inverse of $0$ is undefined.

$S=mathbb Rsetminus{0}$, that means that $S$ is the set of all non-zero real numbers, in plain English.

Since you have chosen "complex analysis" as a tag I guess that here we should see $z$ as a complex number (although this is not explicitly written).
Having said that, I guess that $S={frac{1}{z};|;zinmathbb{R}}$ is the set of all the complex numbers $1/z$ such that $z$ is real number, that is the imaginary part of the complex number $z$ is zero.
In order to find a simpler description of the elements of the set $S$, note that, when $znot=0$, if the imaginary part of $z$ is zero then also imaginary part of $1/z$ is zero. Why? Is the converse true?
How did you read complex numbers into the set? It is the set of all real numbers 1/z, given z $in mathbb R$ or simply, the set of of non-zero real numbers.

Even if we assume the set $S subseteq mathbb C$, the way you have defined it is not consistent, since $zneq 0$. Put this somewhere in your answer: The set of non-zero complex numbers $(a+bi)(b=0 land aneq 0)$. I upvoted it. Cheers!

For all real numbers $z$ we compute the number $frac{1}{z}$, whenever possible (so when $z neq 0$) and put all these (and only these) in the set $S$. Note that the reciprocal of a real is also real, and every non-zero real can be written this way so $S$ is really the set of all nonzero real numbers, $mathbb{R}setminus{0}$, written in a weird way.
This is the best answer. The others lack colloquiality in translation: the set of non-zero real numbers.
