	Tanit  #549277  Thu, 31 Jul 08 04:22 PM Hi, Use "minus" when you are talking about maths (a subtraction). For instance: 1424 - 1344 = 80 => one thousand, four hundred and twenty-four minus one thousand, three hundred and forty-four equals eighty If you are talking about time, you cannot say "minus". You could use "between ... and". 1424 - 1344 => "Between thirteen twenty-four and fourteen forty-four ..."    Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea Senior Member (2,215) A man can do only what he can do.

	Grammar Geek  #549365  Thu, 31 Jul 08 08:41 PM I would use "to" as well (but not "minus").    Grammar Geek
