It would have been uppercase letters originally.

No, it's just bad design/production. It could have been done with the capitals from the source. Someone added something without a transform CSS for first letter capitals, fixed it the wrong way (manually direct formatted to LC), then someone removed the initial stuff and it wasn't proof read.

They broke 1st rule of production: NEVER directly edit the source in the HTML, use CSS transforms, ONLY edit content in the source!
