milliseconds too long, maybe better to use word abbreviation? #163

Closed whoizit closed 3 years ago

I propose for the scripts to abbreviate:

milliseconds -> ms seconds -> s minutes -> m hours -> h

or

milliseconds -> msec seconds -> sec minutes -> min hours -> hour

The choice of names was based on using the same names as the Duration class. The idea being that this would make it easier for users to remember/learn. Abbreviations are also generally frowned upon and with auto-complete they don't add much advantage.
