title: Rails distance_of_time_in_words returns "en, about_x_hours"
body: <p>I'm having a weird problem, hoping someone knows what the issue is...</p>
  
  <p>Using distance_of_time_in_words (and consequently time_ago_in_words) is not returning the actual time distance. Instead it is returning things like "en, about_x_hours" or "en, x_minutes".</p>
  
  <p>The pattern is correct, as in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>time_ago_in_words(50.minutes.ago) =&gt; "en, about_x_hours"
  time_ago_in_words(3.minutes.ago) =&gt; "en, x_minutes"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But why on earth is it displaying "x" instead of the actual number, "_" instead of spaces, and "en, " at the beginning of all of that?!</p>
