Letter Writing
Commas & Full Stops
When I am writing an address on a letter I always put a comma at the end of each line. Colleagues don't. Who is right? Am I just being old-fashioned? I also put at full stop after abbreviations, such as Dr., Mr., Mrs., etc.

There should be no punctuation at the end of each address line. The full stop after title abbreviations is falling out of use, but it is still acceptable, certainly. Note, however, that 'Ms' is not an abbreviation, so it takes no full stop in any case.
