Although "between" can be used to compare more than 2 things in some specific cases, I don't think this sentence qualifies as one of them. Furthermore, when I first read the sentence, I kept wondering if it was meant a relationship between the $n$-types and some other thing (which should be inferred from context) or among the $n$-types themselves. I suppose that it was meant the later.

Thanks for the suggestion. Even less ambiguous might be "relationships between n-types for different values of n"; what do you think? |
|
@mikeshulman Yes, that sounds even better. Thanks for your quick reply. |

Do you want to update this PR or make a new one? |
|
@mikeshulman I don't know. I am familiar with git but I just started using Github. I guess it would be easier if you just ignore the pull request and implement the changes youself, no? After all, it is just a very minor issue. |

Thanks! This way is easier for me; the other way would be easier for you. (-:O |
