Comment (by netweb):

 Replying to [comment:2 danieltj]:
 > I think we should remove the hyphen after the word month. If we’re
 removing the word ‘based’ as the suffix for month, the hyphen seems
 grammatically incorrect on its own.
 Today I learned that  ''multiple hyphenated compound modifiers'' are a
 thing and are grammatically correct, see
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_compound#Using_a_group_of_compound_nouns_containing_the_same_.22head.22
 here]:
 > Special rules apply when multiple compound nouns with the same "head"
 are used together, often with a conjunction (and with hyphens and commas
 if they are needed).

 > ''The third- and fourth-grade teachers met with the parents.''

 > ''Both full- and part-time employees will get raises this year.''
 >
 > ''We don't see many 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children around here.''
