Wrong human text

I'm supposing this is the code that writes dates on Github web front.

1 year ago, it writes "2 years ago"

Here’s a test case that illustrates the issue:

--- a/test/relative-time.js
+++ b/test/relative-time.js
@@ -2411,18 +2411,18 @@ suite('relative-time', function () {

Output:

I have a refactor PR that’ll be ready soon which will resolve these without regressing the other cases we’ve run into.

@keithamus currently I am trying to dive into the code. Could you please point me to the PR with the refactoring?

I did some work on trying to create a polyfill for Temporal Durations so we could move to those but the work stalled due to the complexity of the Temporal APIs. I don't have an active branch or PR so the current code is the latest iteration.
