English gem was carrying Facets around which is quite large. The only
thing we used is inflections
so we rolled our own implementation that is both faster and more
powerful. Merb and DataMapper share this implementation.

It's just not worth to carry English and Facets around just because of
what we could fit into 80 lines of Ruby.
