IntegerToEnglish

The Integer class is pimped up with the to_english method.

Regarding the names of numbers above million, the "short scale" will be used as it is used increasingly in British English too. English grammar source used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English-language_numerals

Limitation: The highest number it can convert is less then 1 quintillion (10^18)
