I understand that much, I'm just trying to figure out if

Actually yeah, it's not build in. But I found this (
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Capitalize_words_and_regions_easily
) so I guessed... Anyway, Do you know any way of capitalizing
a word??
Well, the mapping(s) you're using at the above URL can easily be
redone using something other than "gc" if you want:
nmap gCw guw~l
...
so you'd use "gC" to do your initial capitalization and leave
"gc" for tComment plugin.
As for ways to capitalize words, there are a number of ways that
correspond to your requirements and the above mappings take care
of most of them. However they're on a case-by-case basis. If
you have a bunch of them in the file and you can target them by a
pattern, you can do things like
:%s/\<\(.\)\(\w*\)/\u\1\L\2/g
which will do the entire file. It gets a little peculiar if you
have things like contractions, in which case you might want to
change "*" to "\+" to only touch things of 2+ characters long.
Adjust the regexps accordingly if you want to target things more
precisely.
