I'm thinking something like:
1. strtolower() the string
2. explode() on the period
3. Loop through the resulting array
  a. trim() whitespace on each element
  b. ucfirst() on each element of the array
  c. Concatenate the string back together, putting a period and a
     space at the end of each element.
   

And on top of that he'll need to convert all 'i' to 'I' because of step
1.
 

... and to be really picky, convert common acronyms to upper-case as 
well. :-)

That chould be done with str_replace and arrays for 'find' and 'replace' 
- the challenge is to come up with the list of acronyms...

$find = array('stfu', 'rtfm', 'lol');
$replace = array('STFU', 'RTFM', 'LOL');
$replaced_string = str_replace($find, $replace, $old_string);
Of course, se notice that the content of $replace is the same as $find, 
but upper-cased. Is there a more elegant solution?
