Anglicize is a simple gem that converts strings between American and English spellings, based on the list of alternate spellings at [www.tysto.com/uk-us-spelling-list.html].

For example:

• “Blue Is The Warmest Color”.anglicize == “Blue Is The Warmest Colour”

• “Blue Is The Warmest Colour”.americanize == “Blue Is The Warmest Color”

The methods provided will retain the case of the original string.

Add this to your Gemfile and run the bundle command.
