Oh wow, never looked at ISO8601 durations before and I had no idea they were this ugly. Please, no, don't make me deal with ISO8601. I'd rather write a number of seconds or a format like 'X weeks' or 'Y hours Z minutes'x ISO8601 looks exclusively like a data interchange format
I learned it too. It's just ugly. Before I looked at the relevant section of the ISO 8601 duration format yesterday, I didn't know it. After I looked at it, I now know it, and I strongly dislike it.
