If anyone feels it is an abbreviation, please state what it is an abbreviation of.
I think I ended the last sentence incorrectly.
It depends on the abbreviation. For example you do not capitalize the word "ad" or "advert" as an abbreviation for advertisement nor do you capitalize etc. as short for etcetera. However, you should capitalize some abbreviations like Dr., Mr., or Ms.
Punctuation after Ms is optional. ======================== I disagree. Punctuation following Mr and Mrs is becoming optional, but I would respectfully submit that it is incorrect to place a period after Ms, because Ms is actually a word and not an abbreviation (as are Mr, for Master, and Mrs, for Mistress).
If you're writing it like "Miss" then no. If you write it like "Ms.", then yes, there needs to be a dot. This is because "Miss" is the full word, unlike "Ms." "Ms." is an abbreviation- a shorter way of saying something. So once again if it's "Miss", there doesn't need to be a dot; if it's "Ms." then there is one.

Many abbreviations have more than one meaning, ms can be milliseconds or thousandths of a seconds. So, 9.8 ms can mean 9.8 thousandths of a second, or about one one-hundredth of a second.
The period taken to complete a ms degree is about 1year
Yes there should be a period.
MS is the U.S. Postal Service abbreviation for the state of Mississippi. Miss. also is used as an abbreviation for Mississippi.
Yes, in a business letter's inside address, the titles Ms. or Mr. can be used with open punctuation, meaning no punctuation after them. For example: Ms Jane Doe or Mr John Smith.
