I was looking for the abbreviation of Mr. plural, and read this thread. I would like to add that according to wikipedia: In the United States, a period almost always follows the abbreviated form of mister, in line with the standard practice of American English. However, in most Commonwealth countries and in Ireland, the abbreviation is usually spelt Mr, without a period (that is, a full stop), in keeping with the standard practice of those countries.
