Haha. Now THAT is a nice waste of space. I like how you test for the
existence of the letter before you replace it.
This actually makes me want to run speed tests on what would be faster:
1. testing for existence of lowercase letter - replacing lowercase with
uppercase using replace.
2. not testing and just replacing the lowercase with the uppercase using
replace.
3. just using replacenocase and replacing all letters with the uppercase
equiv.
I bet if I showed this code to my boss he'd be like "whoa, that's deep."
