When a sentence ends with U.S., should you add another period?

Question

Example: "I am proud to have been born in the U.S.. I was born in Nevada.

Answer 1

No, you don't. The period is all you need. It's a style preference, since two periods, one to close the sentence and one to close the abbreviation, would be redundant. One period closes both.

Answer 2

No You Wouldn't When You Have Something That Already Has A Period After It (Like U.S.) You Don't Need Another One All That Is Needed Is One Period

Answer 3

No, when you are using a period for an initial at the end of a sentence, you do to add an additional period.
We live in the U.S.
would be correct

We live in the U.S..
is not.

Answer 4

No, one period is enough. But most people have pretty much given up on the periods in most abbreviations, figuring the all caps is enough to label it an abbreviation. Then the period is the one at the end of the sentence, and no conflict.

"I am proud to have been born in the US. I was born in Pennsylvania."

Answer 5

Grammatically yes, as the U stands for one thing, and the S for another, and the second period ends the statement. In the same as ; I am from the U.S. , but have spent most of my life in N.Y. . Notice I also used a comma after the U.S. In the last sentence.

Answer 6

I dont know but I dont end a sentence with a period after writing U.S. Good question by the way!

Answer 7

No. In this case, the last period does double duty as both the abbreviation's period and the sentence's period.

Answer 8

It's correct to write, U.S. at the end of the sentence.

Answer 9

Yeah because intitals always usally have periods after them, and sentences end in periods. I asked my teacher that a few weeks ago.

Answer 10

An additional period is not necessary.
