This is from a real estate company's e-mail:
(Mr. Smith) closed the following transactions between 5/19/2011 to 6/23/11.
I would prefer consistency in the writing of years, but my main concern with this message is something I see fairly often. "Between" should be followed by "and," or the dates can also be expressed as "from - to." If, in this example, the dates 5/19 and 6/23 are included, the best wording is " . . . following transactions from 5/19/2011 to 6/23/2011." Just remember, between - and or from - to. You'll find that it sounds more natural and accurate.
Until next Monday,
Gramma
