Subject: Re: Uppercasing first letters of certain words

You could do every other word (the first word in every pair) but if 
you're not careful, you'll end up capitalizing "and".

It might be more accurate just to build a replace list like
"one, two, three....eighty, ninety"
and replace with the capitalized versions.
