... 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?
