alt Hacker NewsIt says two years of average use.
“Two” is not “years” in my opinion. “Years” implies at least 3-5.

Two is definitely on the low end for “years”… really the lowest.
But I did have a similar thought when I read it was only “two”
Two is years. Some people would even say that 1.5 is "years". I go back and forth on this. Is it correct to say that something costs "thousands of dollars" if it costs $1,800? If it costs $2,000, IMO it's clear.
If English is your first language, this is the funniest comment I've seen today by a margin.
> It says two years of average use.
Even this is misleading. The product hasn't been released yet. So what is it an average of? How do you know how people will use it?
2 years: Couple years
3 years: Few years
4 years: Several years
5+ years: Years
Years is literally just the plural of a single year. Ergo, years feels like the appropriate word here. What are you suggesting they phase it as instead?
