Right, so I'm no programming genius.  Actually, I'm not a programmer.  But even I can grasp how things kinda-sorta work behind the scenes.  Or how they should work, anyway.  So, something that really very much bothers me on Twitter is this kind of nonsense:

Note that I took the time to circle and highlight the portion I want you to pay attention to, using my fancy/free MS Paint.  So, yeah, "1 hours ago."  Makes me want to gouge my eyes out.  Or repeatedly slam my thumb in a door or something.

Like I mentioned, I'm no computer science master or anything, but seriously people at Twitter, how hard can it be?

Look, I'll show you.

     If time (or some programmy term to reflect time) > 1 hour

     Then add an s.

     Else don't add an s. (or maybe, Else omit the s.) (or how about, Else s)

Am I right?  Huh?  Wouldn't it be pretty simple?  Maybe not as simple as my suggestion, but if you know what you're doing, I'm sure it would be an easy fix.
