==Proposed move==
Based on [https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=ex-ante%2Cex+ante&year_start=1700&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cex%20-%20ante%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cex%20ante%3B%2Cc0 google ngram], the common case is to ''not'' use a hyphen (which follows the style manuals I'm familiar with), and the single-word case is rare enough to be considered a typo. Any objection to moving this article to [[ex ante]]? [[User:Catherine Quotidian|Catherine Quotidian]] ([[User talk:Catherine Quotidian|talk]]) 22:09, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

The tone of this paragraph sets off alarm bells for me. I hope someone who understands this matter happens along and re-writes this -- or gets rid of it! -69.87.199.130 (talk) 03:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move

Based on google ngram, the common case is to not use a hyphen (which follows the style manuals I'm familiar with), and the single-word case is rare enough to be considered a typo. Any objection to moving this article to ex ante? Catherine Quotidian (talk) 22:09, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
