## Introduction

A simple utility library to Humanize the web.

At its core, Humanize harmonizes a group of smaller tasks that once included in a project make a big difference to your output being more readable by your fellow humans...you are human, right?

Here are some examples of what you can do with Humanize:

* Making a number such as 123456789 more human readable by simply adding in the correct commas "123,456,789" and decimals "123,456,789.00".

* Making a larger number more compact 123456789 converts to "123.5M".

* Make file sizes more understandable a file size of 1024 * 2000 can show as "1.95 Mb".

* Make a plural with pluralize 1 "duck", 2 "ducks", 3 "duckies"

A simple utility library for making the web more humane.
