Titles, states, addresses, compass directions, months, days, time of day, and eras are words that can be abbreviated. Almost all abbreviations start with a capital letter and end with a period. Only uppercase letters with no period should be used for compass directions and official USPS state abbreviations.
Opposite each group of words, write down only the correct abbreviation for the word that can be shortened.
