  require 'english'

Piecemeal Usage

You can use the English library in piecemeal fashion by requiring just the specific script you are interested. For example, the inflection functionality will probably be a common choice in this regard.

  require 'english/inflect'

However, this will only provide the .en.singular and .en.plural syntax. To get the “magic” syntax without the need for .en. you also must require the English::Mixin code.

  require 'english/mixin'
  require 'english/inflect'
