"humanize" is already an established well-known github project.. might confuse people. suggestions:

4.wordify
4.toWords

Also would be cool to have a reverse method to convert the string of words back to a Number

Perhaps you meant https://github.com/Humanizr/Humanizer, which is a .Net project. I won't change the name of a Ruby library because it conflicts with a .Net one. That would just be ridiculous.

This project you point at is a JS project. My project is a Ruby project. Projects across different ecosystems are allowed to have the same name. You have no case.
