Instance Method Details

#Connie(argument, options = {}) ⇒ Object

The shorthand method to use connie Accepts three kinds of arguments:

1) String

Connie parses the string replacing the :dictionary.format bits of string with random
results from it's dictionaries

2) Symbols

Uses the symbol to pick the dictionary to return and eventually calls the format on 
it.

3) Arrays

As a form of convenience Connie picks a random element out of the array passed
