# Ensures that when we pass a :message parameter to our validations, that
# message is a sentence (and not something to be prefixed by the column
# name). Rationale: ActiveSupport::Inflector is in over its head on this
# one.
#
# So instead of:
#   validates_presence_of :name, 'should not be blank'
# Use:
#   validates_presence_of :name, 'Name should not be blank'
#
# If, however, you just use:
#   validates_presence_of :name
#
# The behavior will remain unchanged.
