So quick question to anyone who's used this lib. The README cites an example: it can give you the date for text like: '1 min ago', '2 weeks ago', '3 months, 1 weeks and 1 day ago', etc

Does it handle proper grammar for singular values (i.e., 1 week vs. 1 weeks)?

Well, it is meant to be very forgivable. Right now it outputs the same thing for both "1 week ago" and "1 weeks ago" (even though the latter is grammatically incorrect).

Can you elaborate what you mean by "proper grammar for singular values"?

I think the line you copied and pasted here answers your own question – '3 months, 1 weeks and 1 day ago.'
