Description Tim Waugh 2015-09-13 10:58:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When showing files in a list view in English (en_GB.UTF-8), the 'modified' column doesn't make a lot of sense for some relative times.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-3.16.2-2.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Examples:
$ date
Sun 13 Sep 11:46:32 BST 2015

This file is displayed as being modified 'Sun', but that's today, so any human would describe it as 'Last week' or 'Last Sun':
