title: How to %w[text] in Ruby without including \n where it line wraps
body: <p>I want to build an array of a list of state abbreviations, and since it is long, I want to split it over several lines. Using %w or %W, however, includes the \n where the lines break.</p>
  
  <pre><code>STATES = %w(AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DE FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME\
    MD MA MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC SD\
    TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So <code>"ME"</code> will be <code>"ME\n"</code>, as will <code>"SD"</code> be <code>"SD\n"</code></p>
  
  <p>How do I solve this problem?</p>
