Use en-dash instead of hyphen in license between years
English grammar states that an en-dash should be used, not a hyphen between two years. ## Examples of each __em-dash__: — __en-dash__: – __hyphen__: - ## Em-dash An em-dash is typically used as a stand-in for a comma or parenthesis to separate out phrases—or even just a word—in a sentence for various reasons (i.e. an appositive). Examples where an em-dash should be used: * School is based on the three R’s—reading, writing, and ’rithmetic. * Against all odds, Pete—the unluckiest man alive—won the lottery. * I sense something; a presence I've not felt since— ## En-dash An en-dash is used to connect values in a range or that are related. A good rule is to use it when you're expressing a "to" relationship. Examples where an en-dash should be used: * in years 1939–1945 * pages 31–32 may be relevant * New York beat Los Angeles 98–95 * When American English would use an em-dash – following British and Canadian conventions. ## Hyphen A hyphen is used to join words in a compound construction, or separate syllables of a word, like during a line break, or (self-evidently) a hyphenated name. * pro-American * cruelty-free eggs * em-dash * it's pronounced hos-pi-tal-it-tee * Olivia Newton-John
