bjorn_skurj Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Period placement is correct. Outside of parentheses; inside of quotation marks, with the exception of the semi-colon. I do not, however, approve of period use within acronyms or initialisms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do not, however, approve of period use within acronyms or initialisms.They seem pretty enthusiastic about those periods in all of their materials, so I went with it.It is a bit of an inconvenience to type that over and over again with all of those periods.

Aeglos Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 periods with acronyms isn't good - think of our figjams, lombards and snafus! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
