 ## API documentation
 
 I haven't added much documentation to this repo yet, but you can find the documentation for the original JavaScript repo on their [wiki](https://github.com/jehna/VerbalExpressions/wiki).  Most of the methods have been ported as of v0.1.0 of the JavaScript repo.  Just be sure to use the syntax explained above rather than the dot notation :)
