Re: [PhillyOnRails] Need help redefining a method

["Obie Fernandez" <obiefernandez@gmail.com>]

result = self.orig_format(*rules) # keep the args splatted

However, if I were you I would send a request to the maintainer of the
library for a new :spell_out_free rule. It was silly of them not to do
that to begin with.

Cheers,
Obie
