How to read time on posts.

I feel kind of stupid. On the time since the post or comment was posted the minute and month both use the letter "m". I'm on a rather small instance that has older posts and am having trouble determining which is which.

Minute uses lowercase m and month uses uppercase M. Think: minutes are smaller than months.

Lowercase m is minutes, uppercase is months.

I hadn't noticed but that sounds like a very bad thing. I hope it gets changed soon.

Well what exactly would you suggest is used instead?

I think it makes good sense, but do admit it is a little confusing at first glance. Once you know, it just works for me.
