Note
An abbreviation made plural the simple way: -s goes straight onto the short form, with no period inside, just as doctors, drives or debtors take -s when spelled out. Because one short form stands for several words, drs can mean doctors on a hospital staff list, drives in street names, or debtors and debits in a ledger. The surrounding text, not the spelling, tells you which.
