How to convert 1 to “first”, 2 to “second”, and so on, in Ruby?

Question

Is there a built-in method in Ruby to support this?

Answer 1

Using humanize gem, is probably the easiest way. But, yes, it is not built in, however it has only one dependency, so I think its a pretty good choice..

require 'humanize'

2.humanize  => "two"
