Abbreviations
Abbreviations consisting of capital initial letters should be expressed without full stop such as GNP, USA. Contractions ending with the same letter as the original word do not take terminal full stops - edn, Dr, Mr - but abbreviations where the last letter of the word is not included do take a full stop such as ed., ch. Thus ed. And eds are both correct. However, abbreviated units of measurement should be mentioned without a full point such as Ib, Kg, mm - and do not take a final 's' in the plural - thus, 8 oz. The abbreviations etc., i.e., and e.g., are usually best replaced by 'and so on', 'that is' and 'for example'.
