Humane-Dates
============

A better way to display relative dates using JavaScript. Instead of a raw date
string, this script will return strings like "2 hours ago" or "5 days".

## Usage

```js
humaneDate(new Date);
humaneDate('2008-01-28T20:24:17Z');
```

### jQuery Plugin

```no-highlight
January 1, 2008 20:24:17 GMT

$('span').humaneDates();

$('time').humaneDates();
```

## Tests

To run the full test suite:

```bash
cd test
./test.sh
```
