In BE, do these work for the ranges? For the range we'd omit the hyphens in '30 year old', but if it's singular we'd include the hyphens. See below. Are these examples punctuated correctly? RANGE a 25-30 year old 25-30 year old men 25-30 year olds SINGULAR / ADJECTIVE a 30-year-old a 30-year-old man RANGE a 6-10 pound weight loss ADJECTIVE a 10-pound weight loss Thanks
RANGE - I wouldn't use a hyphen at all. A 'to' makes for better scanning to me. SINGULAR / ADJECTIVE - That's how I would do both examples. RANGE - I wouldn't. "A weight loss between six and ten pounds". ADJECTIVE - Same as above - "He lost ten pounds".
