I am defining some active records with acronyms. RvPark (Recreational Vehicle Park). When I titleize the class name, I get 'Rv Park'. It really should be 'RV Park'. Is there a good way to do this? Since this model shares code with other models, I need to create a generic solution, but I haven't been able to come up with one.
I did see a discussion on this, but there wasn't a solution that worked for me. any insight is appreciated.

Capitalizes all the words and replaces some characters in the string to create a nicer looking title. titleize is meant for creating pretty output. It is not used in the Rails internals.
An acronym must be specified as it will appear in a camelized string. An underscore string that contains the acronym will retain the acronym when passed to camelize, humanize, or titleize.
Specifies a new acronym. An acronym must be specified as it will appear in a camelized string. An underscore string that contains the acronym will retain the acronym when passed to camelize, humanize, or titleize.
The trailing ‘_id’,‘Id’.. can be kept and capitalized by setting the optional parameter keep_id_suffix to true. By default, this parameter is false. titleize is also aliased as titlecase.
You can do this by configuring ActiveSupport::Inflector, which provides the titleize method. Simply define your own inflections in an initializer.
# config/initializers/inflections.rb
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
inflect.acronym 'RV'
end
Restart your app to pick up the change. Now titleize knows how to handle "RV". Fire up a Rails console to check it out:
> "RvPark".titleize
=> "RV Park"
> "rv".titleize
=> "RV"
See the linked docs for more cool stuff you can do with inflections.
