 * It seems like the plugin has a default unit suffix of “mins”. This is incorrect,
   as it means “minute-seconds”. The proper unit symbol for the minute (or minutes)
   is simply “min”. Please update this in the plugin so that this error doesn’t 
   cascade across all the websites that use your plugin.

 * [@bsfherman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bsfherman/), yes, I’m aware 
   of there being an option to change the suffix. But from the screenshots in the
   plugin directory and elsewhere, it seems like the default suffix is “mins”. Is
   this not true anymore?

 * Hi [@getsnoopy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getsnoopy/),
 * Did you refer to the screenshot on the [plugin’s page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/read-meter/#:~:text=Screenshots,Getting%20Started)?
   It is just to show the available options of the plugin. We can change that `mins`
   to whatever we want from there.
 * Kind regards,
    Herman 😊

 * Yes, I was referring to the screenshots page. But my question is what is the 
   default? If it’s `mins`, my point is that it’s not only a poor default, but it’s
   also incorrect in terms of standards.

 * Hi [@getsnoopy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getsnoopy/),
 * Unfortunately, yes, `mins` is the default unit. While this can be simply changed
   from the plugin’s option, as I mentioned in my [previous comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-error-7/#post-17988748),
   and will not impact the functionality of this plugin, you definitely have brought
   up something that many people do not know, including myself and our team. For
   an example, this [user](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/important-bug-2/)
   thought that the `s` exists for plural, instead of stands for `seconds`. Thanks
   for that!
 * Well, it will be great if you can raise an issue on the plugin’s [GitHub](https://github.com/brainstormforce/read-meter/issues)
   and explain your concern there. Our concerned dev team will pick it up.
 * Kind regards,
    Herman 😊
