@onovotny (sorry for the tag, let me know if I should stop tagging you), I think I'm going to need your input on this.

The method for choosing which unit is returned is calculated in DefaultHumanize() within DateTimeHumanizeAlgorithms.cs here:

Currently the parts of the algorithm we are interested in work as described below (The third line is the bit we could change):

If it is less than 24 hours, return in hours.
If it is less than 48 hours, return in day.
If it is less than 28 days, return in days.
If it is more than 28 days, return in months.

The less than 28 days has the following code:

if (ts.TotalDays < 28)
{
    return formatter.DateHumanize(TimeUnit.Day, tense, ts.Days);
}

We could fix this issue by changing that code to look like the below to return Weeks for the area between 6 days and 28 days (exclusive):

if (ts.TotalDays < 7)
{
    return formatter.DateHumanize(TimeUnit.Day, tense, ts.Days);
}

if (ts.TotalDays < 28)
{
    return formatter.DateHumanize(TimeUnit.Week, tense, ts.Days);
}

This would then return the expected result of "7 days from now".

BUT, if this code is changed now we get a lovely little error of The resource object with key DateHumanize_MultipleWeeksFromNow' was not found

This is because there is no resource for "Weeks from now".

We could add one, but all the other localized languages would be missing this (I'm not sure what happens if it isn't there for a language).

How do you want to go forward with this (@onovotny). Is adding a new resource something you would want to wait until vNext for? As far as I can see no logic is really changed, we just return weeks instead of days for any values between 6 and 28 days (exclusive).

We can add a new resource in english, and solicit help from the community to fill in the blank.

It looks like a fix has been done a long time ago, but the PR has never been merged.
What exactly remains to be done ? How can I help ?

I would also be intrested in this change. Is there any plan to change it?
Btw. I could provide the German and French translations if needed.
