strange time_diff for large span of time

[Yenwod]

Time.diff(Date.new(2003,11,1), Date.new(2014,10,31))

Data returned is:

10 years
12 months,
4 days

The interesting question is that it is not clear what data should be returned for a large span of time like this. I would assume 11 years - 1 day (or 10 years, 11 months, 31 days)

I've come across this same issue with strange output

The time diff between now and 1 year does not return:

:year=>1

Rather, it returns

:year=>0, :month=>12

It makes it a little more complicated than necessary to calculate a string for how long ago a user was last seen (today, yesterday, days ago, over a year ago, etc)
