  ok this is nice and all and I'm sure the UX people who need to make continual changes to justify their jobs will love it.

  as an "old", can I please express my disdain for this kind of thing? just show me the timestamp. just show me the timestamp. please. I am capable of understanding times and working out the difference between two timestamps all by myself, thank you very much.

  I do not want to be lied to by a library like this. 89 minutes ago is not "an hour ago". 550 days ago is much more than "a year ago".

  please... JUST SHOW THE TIMESTAMPS!
