Acronyms, punctuation, and editing

Before you decide to act authoritatively and revert other people's edits, please be sure you know what you're talking about. (As for me, I've got a degree with honors in English education.) From one of countless references, the "Guide to Grammar and Writing":

"It appears that there are no hard and fast rules for using periods in either acronyms or abbreviations." [1]

Please do a little more research before using your opinions, and not facts, to change other people's work. Thanks. -- B.Rossow talkcontr 12:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
