//! Challenge

/**
 * You've just finished writing the last chapter for your novel when a virus suddenly
 * infects your document. It has swapped the i's and e's in ei words and capitalized 
 * random letters. In today's challenge, you will write a function which will:
 * a) Remove the spelling errors in 'ei' words. (Examples of 'ei' words: their, caffein, deceive, weight)
 * b) Only capitalize the first letter of each sentence. 
 *  Make sure the rest of the sentence is in lowercase

 ** Example:
 * 'he haD iEght ShOTs of cAffIene.' ==> 'He had eight shots of caffeine.'
 
 * Good luck and happy coding~!

// Output
// Long Version: He had eight shots of caffeine.
