<p>Showing the beautified version on hover would be ridiculous - the idea is to show the beautified version and provide additional detail via the hover. Reversing that makes no sense - once the full date is show there it no point in making the other version available.</p>
<p>The actual algorithm for the test comes from rails (<a href="https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#method-i-distance_of_time_in_words" rel="nofollow">https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/DateHelper.html#method-i-distance_of_time_in_words</a>) and we don't have any control over it but rounding anything over 24 hours to a number of days doesn't seem unreasonable to me anyway.</p>
<p>I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one - clearly there's no objectively correct answer and this is a matter of subjective preferences where we're never going to please everybody.</p>
