Either way, you certainly have identified as inconsistency. It doesn't make sense to ""clean-up"" manually specified time units to add the ""T"" but not include that in our auto-generated time units. We should probably switch our time units to include ""T"" because that's ISO-8601, and I'm no longer sure why we normalize time units at all rather than just writing them unmodified.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,235224055
