This forum discusses "Ruby on Rails", which is Shoes's sibling-rival. Questions like these need a newsgroup with more responders who know Shoes, such as Shoes's adventurer's mailing list... > So basically, I type in a number like 36,090 and it returns with > "Thirty-six thousand and ninety'.

I would write a unit test that uses the Linguistics gem directly, without Shoes. That's the most important programming tip you will hear in a long time - to write tests on modules, decoupled from the whole app. Install ruby itself from a distro, such as the One Click Installer, and learn it independent from Shoes, as you learn Shoes. And, if you will bear with me here, I must decline your offer to bare with you!
