Re: 'Now ago' bug still exists!
Not a bug. It's unusual, yes, but not a bug.

Re: 'Now ago' bug still exists!
Honestly I see no reason why this should be fixed. It will waste the Scratch Team's time and you can still understand what is meant.

Except the developers lost time in the first place by making it replace 0 minutes by 'Now', when they could have just left it as it was originally and gotten better grammar.

Re: 'Now ago' bug still exists!
Unless I'm mistaken though, all it would take to fix is one extra "if" to check whether it was posted 0 minutes ago, and if it is, print "Now". I'm probably wrong though.

Re: 'Now ago' bug still exists!
Yeah, it's like a very common bug like "1 people love it" and similar bugs. RedRocker is right, though, you just need an extra if.
<sample code, probably written in JS but I'm not really sure>
Code:
var diff = getTimeDifference(projectID, new Date());
if(diff != "Now") {
timeStr += " ago"
