In your example there are actually _two_ kinds of "mistakes".  One kind
is that you capitalize words like "this" or "kind" in the middle of a
sentence.  There's no simple solution to that.  The other mistake is
that of an upper-case character in the second position of a word.
Correcting the latter should not be difficult with flyspell.  Try adding
code like the 100% untested below to `flyspell-incorrect-hook' (and be
aware of the fact that auto-correction is something you'll hardly notice
while typing).

(defun flyspell-maybe-downcase-second-character (beg end guesses)
  "Try to downcase second character."
  (when (consp guesses)
    (let ((string (buffer-substring beg end))
          second)
      (when (and (> (- end beg) 1)
                 (not (equal (aref string 0) (downcase (aref string 0))))
                 (not (equal (aref string 1) (downcase (aref string 1)))))
        (setq string
              (concat
               (substring string 0 1)
               (setq second (downcase (substring string 1 2)))
               (substring string 2)))
        (catch 'done
          (dolist (guess guesses)
            (when (string-equal string guess)
              (goto-char (1+ beg))
              (insert second)
              (delete-char 1)
              (throw 'done t))))))))
