I’m probably being a crotchety old man, but web design seems to be regressing rather than improving. For proof I give you relative dates that seem to be taking over the web world.
Rather than indicating that an article was published on, say, April 1, 2013 at 2:30 p.m., web sites seem to be moving to relative dates that insist on telling me that an article I’m reading was published “30 minutes ago” or “two weeks ago”.
This is not helpful, people. It is ambiguous and confusing. Does “two weeks ago” mean “14 days ago” or does it mean something like “7-14 days ago.”
Please, cut this shit out.
