Of course. Err... :\

This I don't understand. Since we're using $1 we need them, no?

This gave me an error of "use of uninitialized value $1 in uc".
Removing the non-capturing code works though;
$string =~ s/\b([aeiouy]{3,4}|[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxz]{3,4})\b/\U$1/ig;
This now allows me to step it down to {2,4} without capitalizing the
'st' in 51st.
Thanks again,
