Lecture 2.6 Periods

A period is an end mark that follows a statement or a command.
Periods are also used after initials. An initial is a letter that stands for a name.
The days of the week are often written as abbraviations, or in a shoter form.
A period follows the abbreviation.
The months of the year can also be abbreviated. May, June, and July are not abbreviated because their names are short.
People's titles are usually abbreviated when they come before a name.
Types of streets are written as abbreviations in addresses.
Tip: Abbreviations for days, months, and types of streets are used only in addresses and casual writing. For example, you might abbreviate the name of a day or month in a calendar or a note. Do not use these abbreviations in the body of a letter, a report, or a story.
