Interesting this topic should come up. I was recently reading a letter written by my grandmother. She was an appallingly lazy writer (I always wondered where that came from) and she abbreviated damned near every second word which made the letter rather hard to read. Frustratingly, she reduced names to R. and P. and what have you. Can't phone her and ask her now.

But, getting to the point, she put a full stop after every single one of those contractions and abbreviations. Looks pretty weird to moi, and I can be pretty pedantic!
