That does not extend the String class. It defines a new class  
ApplicationHelper::String with an instance method a.
I would have a method like that in a file somewhere in lib (eg lib/ 
my_extensions.rb) and require that from an initializer. You could  
'fix' it by pulling that out of the ApplicationHelper module and  
putting it at the bottom of the file but that's a bit horrible.
