Day 139: Use from/to to include terminal values in a range, between/and to exclude them.

Let’s say you need to write about a range of dates, as in this example:

“Between 1910 and 1934, the company experienced steady growth.”

Because you have used “between . . . and,” company growth started AFTER 1910 and ended BEFORE 1934. The terminal years are not included—only the years between. The first year of growth is 1911, and the final year of growth is 1933. Now let’s write it the other way:

“From 1910 to 1934, the company experienced steady growth.”

Because you have used “from . . . to,” company growth started IN 1910 and ended IN 1934. The terminal years are included. Two more quick examples:

“Road repair will disrupt traffic from mile markers 10 to 15.”
[Repairs start at marker 10 and finish at marker 15.]

“Road repair will disrupt traffic between mile markers 10 and 15.”
[Repairs start after marker 10 and end before marker 15.]
