Doctor. The title (abbreviation) has a period "Dr." as in "Dr. Smith's office".
It is Dr without a period. It is form and good manners to capitalize titles. Dr. is the abbreviation for Drive. It can also be PhD, for the highest degree in doctoring in college.
Yes, you should include a period after the abbreviation "Dr." when it is used at the end of a sentence, in order to indicate that the sentence has ended. "Dr." is an abbreviation for "Doctor," so it functions like any other abbreviation in terms of punctuation rules.
The abbreviation (using a period) Dr. stands for the title Doctor -- it is normally only used before a proper name (Dr. Smith) and is then capitalized.
Yes, Mrs. has a period because it is an abbreviation and mrs is not a word. The same holds true for Mr., Dr., and Ms.
Unlike the period at the end of a sentence (which have one or two spaces), the period following an abbreviation only needs one space. This is the general rule for abbreviations such as Dr., Jr., or Sr.
I believe you are thinking of "abbreviation".
The abbreviation is either DO or DR.
It is an abbreviation, one example being Dr. for a doctor.
