| Mar 17, 2016 at 10:40 | comment | added | londonderry | Or do just hyphens look okay, as in: A $50-$75-million-a-year industry, 50-75-mile radius. Combo of en dashes + hyphens may look like poor typesetting, agreed? So just use hyphens throughout, yes or no? Thank you... Ah yah. | |
| Mar 17, 2016 at 10:37 | comment | added | londonderry | Do the en dashes and hyphens work above? Thank you. Ah yah. | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 14:00 | comment | added | londonderry | He said the same method could be used with ages and all ranges, e.g., 20–30-year-old females, 50–100-mile radius, 20–30-foot-deep holes, etc. | |
| Mar 15, 2016 at 13:57 | comment | added | londonderry | Thanks. A college professor whom I emailed said to just use an en dash between the figures and hyphens in the phrasal-adjective part: a $50–$75-million-a-year industry. "To", with hyphens on each side, is redundant, he said. | |
