SCU Editorial Style Guide
Y
- years
Always use numbers for years, even if starting a sentence. Express a range of years with an en dash, even in body copy.
If the first two digits are the same for the start and end years, format the range like this:
- 1990-95
But if they aren't, use:
- 1999-2000
NOT
- 1999-00
For decades, use numerals and do not use apostrophes to pluralize:
- the 1980s
NOT
- the 1980's
Also, see dates/months/years.
- your, you're, yore
your (possessive, both singular and plural), you're (you are), yore(time long past)
- Is this your jacket?
- Are you sure you're ok?
- This dates back to the days of yore.
