Heres another way to skin this cat that I think is easier.

        :. s/./\u&/g
               ^^^--------change every char (.) with the uppercase of .
 
        You can also do \l to flip to lower case. 
        Finally there is a whole bunch of things you do with the 
        "search string" such as..

                :1,$ s/\<./\u&/g
                       ^^^--------find the char at the start of a word
                                  and flip its case to upper.
