True, though typically if someone is asked to capitalize the word 'this' they will give you 'This'. We commonly talk about capitalizing proper nouns or the first word of a sentence, and that doesn't mean to write it in all caps. Though, I see your point - we generally don't talk about capitalizing an entire string with the intent that the first letter of every word should be written as a capital. But we do often use the term "title case" to refer to an entire string, and it is not meant in the way we are defining here. While "capitalize" isn't perfect, "titlecase" seems even worse.
