Acronyms
Hello,
How do you end a sentence when the last element of the sentence is an acronym (e.g.: "The three countries are: China, the U.K. and the U.S..")?
The problem lies in it that the last letter of the acronym already ends with a dot and you have to finish your sentence with a dot, making it look like a continuance such as '..'.
p.s.: I did not know if this was the right subforum to post in.
Thank you,

Hi Ryan, It's an abbreviation, not an acronym, but that's no the main point. You use only one period/full stop. K.
