Full Points
Use full points after abbreviations (p.m., e.g., i.e., etc.) and contractions where the end of the word is cut (p., ed., ch.,). Omit full points in acronyms (HMSO, BBC), after people' s titles, e.g. Mr, Mrs, Ms, Dr, after contractions which end in the last letter of the word (Dr, Mr, St, edn, eds, Ltd) and after metric units (cm, kg).
