Signature

humanize(capitalize: true, keep_id_suffix: false)

Capitalizes the first word, turns underscores into spaces, and (by default) strips a

trailing '_id' if present.
Like `titleize`, this is meant for creating pretty output.

The capitalization of the first word can be turned off by setting the
optional parameter `capitalize` to false.
By default, this parameter is true.

The trailing '_id' can be kept by setting the
optional parameter `keep_id_suffix` to true.
By default, this parameter is false.

```
'employee_salary'.humanize                    # => "Employee salary"
'author_id'.humanize                          # => "Author"
'author_id'.humanize(capitalize: false)       # => "author"
'_id'.humanize                                # => "Id"
'author_id'.humanize(keep_id_suffix: true)    # => "Author id"
```
