Fixing grammar mistake in English reading time (#251)
Changing reading time from "XX minutes read" to "XX-minute read".
In English, a hyphen (-) joins a number to the noun that follows it. Also, the noun is always minute regardless of the number ('1-minute' and '2-minute' are correct, whereas '2-minutes' is incorrect).

>When numbers are used as the first part of a compound adjective, use a hyphen to connect them to the noun that follows them. This way, the reader knows that both words function like a unit to modify another noun. This applies whether the number is written in words or in digits.
>Example: The president of the company gave a 10-minute speech to the Board of Directors.
