Englishest

In a nutshell, with this gem enabled you can now spell <=> as trichotomize, and so on.

This gem aims to provides alternative ways to utter Ruby code, simply defining synonyms for miscellaneous terms, especially offering full word counterpart to ideograms/logograms such as the so called spaceship operator.

The name of the gem is of course a pun: a library which provides ability to utter code which is closer to a voiceable English obviously ought to do it so through an obvious transgression of this language usual rules on superlatives.
