So while . say duration_exact(86399); . will correctly give "23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds", . say ago(86399); . will output the rounded time span as "1 day ago". . The provided functions are duration(), ago(), from_now(), later() and earlier(), along with their *_exact counterparts. The precision used for rounding can be specified, and version 1.10 added a millisecond mode.
