Strange notation

I took the liberty of changing this

\Delta y_{1}^{s}=y_{1}(p_{1}',m')-y_{1}(p_{1},m)={\text{Ys -Y1}}.

</math>

to this:

\Delta y_{1}^{s}=y_{1}(p_{1}',m')-y_{1}(p_{1},m)=Y_{s}-Y_{1}.

If for some reason the "text" style is needed for Ys and Y1, could one not write this

\Delta y_{1}^{s}=y_{1}(p_{1}',m')-y_{1}(p_{1},m)={\text{Ys}}-{\text{Y1}}.

with a proper minus sign instead of that stupid-looking hyphen? Contrast the two:

{\begin{aligned}{\text{hyphen:}}&\qquad \Delta y_{1}^{s}=y_{1}(p_{1}',m')-y_{1}(p_{1},m)={\text{Ys-Y1}}.\\{\text{minus sign:}}&\qquad \Delta y_{1}^{s}=y_{1}(p_{1}',m')-y_{1}(p_{1},m)={\text{Ys}}-{\text{Y1}}.\end{aligned}}
