Using self.replace in capitalize_each! rather than just replace would be a little more explicit. Additionally, it would match the style of your non-destructive method.

Here...

class String
  def capitalize_each!
    replace (split(" ").each{|word| word.capitalize!}.join(" "))
  end  
end

str = "HELLO WORLD"
puts str.capitalize_each!
puts str
