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.

'employee_salary'.humanize # => "Employee salary"
'author_id'.humanize       # => "Author"
