== Description
This library is a Ruby interface to WordNet®[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/].
-WordNet® is an online lexical reference system whose design is inspired
-by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English
-nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each
-representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link
-the synonym sets.
