    I don't get you. What on earth is a "uncial"?

      Sorry, "Initial", but here, this solved the issue unless you have a better idea.
      s/(?<=\w)(.)/\l\1/g for $test;
s/Ltd/LTD/ for $test;

        Hrm.. you could almost do 
        s/\b([^aeiouy\W]+)\b/\U$1/g;

        [download]
        That will uppercase any words with no vowels... not perfect, but works for a number of them.

        and are you planning to hard code ALL the possible exceptions? ...NGO, LLC, etc? Or is this homework after all?
