English.rb: stop writing Ruby like Perl (github.com)

Wow, I never knew Ruby's predefined global variables were so cryptically named. (Not a ruby developer)

Is there any sane reason it was designed this way (the language I mean, not this fix)

This should be a part of the Ruby distribution.

http://perldoc.perl.org/English.html perl has it too. So, you can still write ruby like perl

I imagine this works about as well as it does in Perl. Not everybody uses it, so you have to know the short-hand variables anyway, but now you've got an entire new set of magic names to learn! Let's all learn two names for everything!

Asking people to stop stop writing Ruby like Perl is like asking people to stop writing C++ like C.

Its impossible to that especially when Ruby is 80% perl.
