 * I’m using the following code in my comment display list, to show the human time
   difference.
 * `<?php echo human_time_diff( get_comment_time('U'), current_time('timestamp')).'
   ago'; ?>`
 * When I post a comment and the page refreshes, I expect it to display ‘1 minute
   ago’ but instead it is displaying ‘1 hour ago’.
 * This is not the behaviour I expect, and suspect this isn’t the intended behaviour.
 * Can anybody suggest why this might be the case?

 * The record shows that there have been some changes in this function, so your 
   result will depend upon which version of WordPress you are using.
 * In file: /wp-includes/formatting.php you will find the function: human_time_diff
 * And it seems that for time intervals less than an hour, it will say x minutes
   ago.
