All of the following works well in rails console (Rails 3) except for 0... wouldn't the human readable form of 0 just be 0?

irb(main):015:0> helper.number_to_human 1
=> "1"
irb(main):016:0> helper.number_to_human 2
=> "2"
irb(main):017:0> helper.number_to_human 200
=> "200"
irb(main):018:0> helper.number_to_human 3000
=> "3 Thousand"
irb(main):019:0> helper.number_to_human 30000
=> "30 Thousand"
irb(main):020:0> helper.number_to_human 300000
=> "300 Thousand"
irb(main):007:0> helper.number_to_human 1234567
=> "1.23 Million"
irb(main):008:0> helper.number_to_human 12345678
=> "12.3 Million"
irb(main):009:0> helper.number_to_human 123456789
=> "123 Million"
irb(main):010:0> helper.number_to_human 1234567890
=> "1.23 Billion"
irb(main):011:0> helper.number_to_human 12345678901
=> "12.3 Billion"
irb(main):012:0> helper.number_to_human 123456789012
=> "123 Billion"
irb(main):013:0> helper.number_to_human 1234567890123
=> "1.23 Trillion"
