What's this?

humanize(lower_case_and_underscored_word) public

Capitalizes the first word and turns underscores into spaces and strips a trailing "_id", if any. Like titleize, this is meant for creating pretty output.

Examples:

  "employee_salary" # => "Employee salary"
  "author_id"       # => "Author"

      inflections.humans.each { |(rule, replacement)| break if result.gsub!(rule, replacement) }
      result.gsub(/_id$/, "").gsub(/_/, " ").capitalize
    end
