    Ruby Linguistics Framework

    This, is amazing.

    Pluralization

    require 'linguistics'
Linguistics::use( :en ) # extends Array, String, and Numeric

"box".en.plural # => "boxes"
"mouse".en.plural # => "mice"
"ruby".en.plural # => "rubies"

    Present Participles

    "runs".en.present_participle # => "running"
"eats".en.present_participle # => "eating"
"spies".en.present_participle # => "spying"

    Conjunctions

    allobjs = []
ObjectSpace::each_object {|obj| allobjs < < obj.class.name}
puts "The current Ruby objectspace contains: " +   allobjs.en.conjunction( :generalize => true )
The current Ruby objectspace contains: thousands of Strings,
thousands of Arrays, hundreds of Hashes, hundreds of Classes,
many Regexps, a number of Ranges, a number of Modules,
several Floats, several Procs, several MatchDatas, several Objects,
several IOS, several Files, a Binding, a NoMemoryError,
a SystemStackError, a fatal, a ThreadGroup, and a Thread

    And a lot of other cool tricks with Ruby and English. (And I’m guessing you can add other languages as well)

    Via Ruby Inside.

      I just love Ruby. It builds and builds, without excess infrastructure.

      And always keeps it short, simple and sweet.
