It's also possible to change multiple letters by using a
number. For example, if the word is 8 characters long, use
8~

Also, you can do g~w to change the current word (forwards)
or g~b to change the current word (backwards) or g~~ for
the entire line. 

This is for Vim - I'm not sure if it works in other 
vi clones. 

Take care,

Zonker (confirmed vim addict)
