| Jul 13, 2014 at 9:30 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | Neither is very idiomatic to me. I'd say either, “I visited four countries between 2010 and 2014” or “I visited four countries from 2010 till 2014”. In fact I probably wouldn't even say the latter of those two—it feels much less natural than using between… and does. | |
