U.S.A. 係一句句子最後面,洗唔洗加FULL STOP, WHY?
發問:
U.S.A. 係一句句子最後面,洗唔洗加FULL STOP, WHY? What about "," or other punctuation marks?
最佳解答:
我諗發問者唔係問USA駛唔駛加 full stops (periods)喺每一個大寫字母之後，而係問究竟 I love U.S.A. 定係 I love U.S.A.. 先至正確。 下文摘自 Wikipedia: The period is used after abbreviations, such as Mrs. & Ms. If the abbreviation is ending a declaratory sentence an additional full stop is not needed (e.g. My name is Phil Simpson Jr.), but in the case of an interrogative or exclamatory sentence a question or exclamation mark is needed. 根據上面的理論，U.S.A. 係一句句子最後面，就唔洗用兩個 full stop作結尾。 但我就同樣的問題 (是 etc.，不是U.S.A.)，問過英國人(载卓爾夫人之幕僚長 Mr. Powell)、美國人、澳洲人、中國籍英語教師。只可說眾說紛紜，但以須要多加 full stop 之答案居多。 要加的理據不外乎是前面的 full stop 屬 abbrevation 的部份，而後面的 full stop 才是句子的完結。 而不加的理據是為免累贅。 誰是誰非，似乎並無公論。 我的習慣是 如abbreviation 是句子最後一個字，之後再添一個 full stop。But I do not have a strong opinion on those with only one full stop. What about "," or other punctuation marks? If an abbreviation should be followed by a comma, then no omission is allowed. Likewise, if an abbreviation is followed by an punctuation mark other then a full stop, then no omission is allowed. 2007-01-15 16:32:46 補充： 至於abbreviations是否有 full stops after every capital letter，則 depends，看習慣及 British England 與 American English 的分別。由於這問題不是針對這事，在此不贅，不然就離題。 2007-01-15 16:40:35 補充： From http://www.grammar-monster.com/lessons/labbrev.htm:If a sentence ends with the full stop from an abbreviation, then that full stop will suffice. There is no need to put two. 2007-01-15 16:44:48 補充： After reveiwing more websites, I have found out that most grammaists prefer not to use two but one full stop when a sentence ends with an abbreviation.

In fact, we can omit to write full stops at the end. 我們通常在英式英語中以大楷字母來寫簡稱 (abbreviations)， 而句號 (full stops) 其實可以省略。 For example 例如: The USA can be also written as The U.S.A. The USA 也可以寫成 The U.S.A. (美國) 2007-01-15 15:44:25 補充： In Addition, we should add an article 'the' before the abbreviation of the United States of America.
