Module to provide helper methods for interpreting American formatted date strings.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'interpret_date'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install interpret_date

## Usage

To utilize `interpret_date`, mix in the `InterpretDate` module into a
class that needs to interpret American formatted dates into ruby Date
objects and pass the date string into the `interpret_date` or
`interpret_dob_date`.

Example (setting attributes for an example `ActiveRecord` model):

```ruby
class Parcel < ActiveRecord::Base
  include InterpretDate

  def shipping_date=(value)
    super(interpret_date(value))
  end

  def birthdate=(value)
    super(interpret_dob_date(value))
  end
end
```
