But I recognize that it is very subjective. The only objective thing I can say is that "m" is not a unique prefix of a time unit, due to "minutes". Yes, it is obvious if you see the "y" first, but I actually parse the relative time backwards in my head and think "2 minutes ago, oh wait, 3 years, that must be months". -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
