Here's a sentence I pruned from somewhere...

彼らは２～３年後に結婚して、現在は２人の娘がいます。

While it's easy to understand the meaning, I don't know how you'd read it aloud.

How would a native read ２～３? The same way a native English speaker would read "2-3" as "two through three" or "two to three" etc.

I'm pretty sure most people would not say から when reading that sentence aloud.

Sure a mixi invite would be awesome
send it to.. gmail.com で　glowingfaceman 　(you know what I mean)

Ah! If you don't mind, I'd love a mixi invite for that sort of group as well. Sometimes I run across things that just don't quiiiite jive, and with my background in English/Journalism/Editing, I'm sure I can help right back. I'll drop you an email through the contact form as well.

A related question that came up for me recently - how does this differ for situations like days, for example, where the number words aren't the same?

For example, is １～２日　いちふつか　or いちににち？

I've been wondering about this too!
Arg, like 一、二回...　is that 一 read いち or something else？　

Could I get a Mixi invite too, please?

Great question really, I would say いっかい、にかい. でも推測だけです。

And since this topic also seems to be about begging for mixi invites, I would say:
