Rule #2: When abbreviating academic degrees and professional designations, use a period between each letter or element in the abbreviation. No internal spaces are necessary.
An abbreviation is simply a shortened form of a word. Generally, abbreviations begin with a capital letter and end with a period. For example, the month of November can be abbreviated to read: Nov. We can also abbreviate the days of the week so that Tuesday could be written as Tues.tate abbreviations are one example where a period is not used in its abbreviated form. âMIâ is the abbreviation for Michigan. âMTâ is the abbreviation for Montana. âMAâ is the abbreviation for Massachusetts.
