St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?
In article "Stephen Sprunk" writes:
.... In general, all punctuation and diacritical marks are dropped to make signs and addresses as easy to read/write as possible. Therefore "St. John's" becomes "St Johns" (notice the two changes). As far as I know in British English there is no full stop following an abbreviation if the last letter of the abbreviation is also the last letter of the complete word. (This is different in US English.) -- dik t. winter, cwi, kruislaan 413, 1098 sj amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |
