:%s/\<[a-z]\+\>//gI
another option is to include \C in the regular expression itself:
:%s/\C\<[a-z]\+\>//g
One should be careful about this, as the help states:
:help /\C
Note that 'ignorecase', "\c" and "\C" are not
used for the character classes.
And when you look up
:help /character-class
it shows you what's considered a character class. I don't know
if the [...] notation is considered a character-class or not, but
the \u \l etc are listed there.
Just one of those things to watch out for with the \c and \C that
don't seem to apply with regards to the "I" flag. Or maybe they
do with the "I" flag too? The docs leave a bit of a gap here
that could go either way.
