Tip: Some style guides advise adding a fourth period to indicate that the sentence ended with ellipses.
Tip: Some style guides favor omitting periods from abbreviations made up solely of uppercase letters, such as "MD" or "FBI," while others prefer that you leave them in. For most everyday writing, either usage is considered correct.
Exception: If you're talking about a famous person who is commonly known by their initials, you can omit the periods. For example, you would write "JFK" or "MLK," but you would retain periods with "W. E. B. DuBois."
