I've been looking, but can't seem to find a RoR plugin/gem for filtering out abuse words / expletives from strings. Do you know of a RoR plugin that does this? Ps. I do understand that there are many ways that such words can be displayed (like shit, shït, shıt, śhit, and śhiŧ). If a plugin can filter out such "words" as well, that's a...

I have a Day model which has a date column. I have to implement the validation that the date column must not have a past date. If the date is a past date it must not get saved to the database and give the appropriate error message right on the.
