Grammar – Is ‘between A to B’ Correct?

grammaticalityprepositionsword-choice

I looked at "Between A and B vs from A to B", but it didn't mention a third variation I've been hearing more often, recently.

Even on the Australian national broadcaster, the ABC, I've heard statements by reporters like

The cost was estimated to be between A to B dollars.

Have the rules of grammar changed, or is this as ungrammatical as I think it is?

Best Answer

It is not right to use between A to B, or from A and B for that matter, though the former is a common error.

Intuitively, to suggests motion just like from, while between is a reference to two objects and should be paired with and.
