Examples

vague_dt(as.difftime(30, units = "secs"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(14, units = "mins"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(5, units = "hours"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(25, units = "hours"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(5, units = "days"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(30, units = "days"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(365, units = "days"))
vague_dt(as.difftime(365 * 10, units = "days"))

## Short format
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(30, units = "secs"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(14, units = "mins"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(5, units = "hours"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(25, units = "hours"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(5, units = "days"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(30, units = "days"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(365, units = "days"))
vague_dt(format = "short", as.difftime(365 * 10, units = "days"))

## Even shorter, terse format, (almost always) exactly 3 characters wide
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(30, units = "secs"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(14, units = "mins"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(5, units = "hours"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(25, units = "hours"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(5, units = "days"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(30, units = "days"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(365, units = "days"))
vague_dt(format = "terse", as.difftime(365 * 10, units = "days"))
