Subject: 2 those living and working in England This is likely a dumb question, but:The Brits tend to omit the . after Mr and Mrs and all of that. Is this acceptable in formal British texts (formal business writing, etc.)? I am getting mixed information on the net. Thanks! |
| formal business writing* -does not require . from us. afaik |
| 2 those living and working in England*- oops sorry, wrong number)) |

yes, Dear Mr Justice Smith |
| В Британии обращения стабильно пишутся без точки. Точка считается американизмом. От нее избавляются даже в книгах американских авторов, издаваемых в Британии. |

NC1 Interesting. OK. Duly noted that formal BrEng does not use a . after Mr, Ms, and Mrs. Dr and Prof I will assume follow the same rule. It just looks so illiterate to my American eyes, though. :) |
| D(octo)r and Prof.(essor) - разные вещи. Susan79, почитайте про abbreviatons |

nephew as they both contain the first and last letters of the word to be abbreviated, I assumed that the same rule applies. calm down |
