Subject: look at code in a gem

Hi everyone.  I'm new to Ruby and have a question that I hope is  
simple.  I wanted to compare some strings for similarity, and found  
this ruby gem called "english" (http://english.rubyforge.org/) which  
has a method called "similarity" that gives me back a similarity score  
when used.  I wanted to know how that score is being calculated - and  
I looked through the docs and couldn't find it.

I'm wondering if there's a way to easily "see" the code for a  
particular method from a gem - can i somehow use irb to show me the  
code for "similarity" to see how it is coming up with that score?

Thanks, and sorry if this is a silly newbie question.
