Do we ignore the message asking us to ignore you?

Anyway, you were on the right track, but the string needs to be chunked 
on white space, then regrouped.

"BOCA RATON".split( /\s/ ).map{ |w| w.capitalize }.join( ' ' )

If one tends to do this a lot, it can be added as an instance method to 
String:

class String
   def titlize
     self.split( /\s/).map{ |w| w.capitalize }.join( ' ' )
   end
end

"BOCA RATON".titlize
