Not possible in CSS, except if each phrase and its first letter (or 
first word) has been marked up as an element. And you cannot really 
_force_ anything in CSS.

But what about capitalized proper nouns and all-uppercase or camelcase 
abbreviations?

Anyway, this is not a job for CSS but for the server-side software that 
accepts forum input and converts it to page content. It's by its very 
nature something programmable, so it could perform rather tricky 
operations (including the use of exception glossaries), which are far 
beyond the scope of CSS.
