+  String representations of :class:`timedelta` objects are normalized
+  similarly to their internal representation.  This leads to somewhat
+  unusual results for negative timedeltas.  For example:

 In addition to the operations listed above :class:`timedelta` objects support
 certain additions and subtractions with :class:`date` and :class:`datetime`
 objects (see below).
